If you’ve been searching for a way to combine problem solving with vocabulary practice, these 3rd grade math crossword puzzles are the perfect fit. Instead of another worksheet that students complete and forget, these crosswords turn practice into a puzzle that feels like a game. Students solve equations, discover the correct answers, and then use them to fill in the puzzle grid — building fluency and reinforcing math vocabulary words at the same time.
Each puzzle comes in two versions: one with a word bank and one without. That makes it simple to differentiate. Give the word bank version to students who need extra support, and challenge advanced learners with the no-word-bank option. Every student gets meaningful practice at their level, without extra prep work for you.
This resource includes over 50 3rd grade math crossword worksheets that are ready to print and go. Each puzzle is tied to a specific skill, so you can quickly find one that matches your lesson. Want your students practicing multiplication facts? Grab the multiplication crossword. Reviewing fractions on a number line? There’s a puzzle for that too.
The best part is that these activities don’t just review computation — they reinforce essential math vocabulary. Kids practice spelling out words like “perimeter,” “array,” and “associative property,” which gives them the confidence to recognize and use academic terms correctly during tests and class discussions.
