Mixed Practice: 2-Digit Addition and Subtraction with Regrouping is a Grade 3 mathematics worksheet focused on solving 10 one-step apple-themed word problems. Students fill in the blank after determining whether each situation requires addition to find a new total or subtraction to find an amount remaining. The problems use two-digit numbers, including cases that require regrouping across the ones and tens places, such as finding 34 + 57 or 93 − 57. This free printable worksheet gives students focused practice connecting operation words such as “more,” “gave,” “took,” and “left” to the correct computation. It also reinforces place-value procedures when adding or subtracting two-digit numbers and provides a quick way to check whether students can apply those procedures in context. The worksheet includes a complete answer key, making it useful for Grade 3 independent practice, classwork, homework, or a short skills check.

WorksheetsAnswer KeyThis Grade 3 worksheet covers mixed two-digit addition and subtraction with regrouping through 10 fill-in-the-blank apple word problems. Students identify whether a situation asks for a total or an amount remaining, then calculate the answer using place-value strategies such as regrouping.
First model how words such as “more” signal addition while “gave,” “took,” or “left” may signal subtraction, then solve one problem by representing the tens and ones. Have students underline the quantities and action in each apple story before choosing an operation, and ask them to explain where regrouping occurs in examples such as 34 + 57 or 93 − 57.
Watch for students choosing addition whenever two numbers appear, especially in subtraction stories where one character gives away or loses apples. Other common errors include subtracting the smaller digit from the larger digit without regrouping, failing to carry a ten when an addition exceeds 9 ones, and recording an incorrect place value in results such as 63 + 47 = 110.
This worksheet is available as a printable PDF and as a digital quiz on Wayground, with a complete answer key for checking the 10 fill-in-the-blank responses. For printable submissions, you can scan student work with the Wayground for Teachers app to grade it efficiently.
