Class 3 maths is where children start using all four operations together. They work with 4-digit numbers, learn multiplication and division facts, meet fractions for the first time, and measure length, weight and capacity. It's a year where gaps show up quickly, so regular short practice really helps.
Here are 10 Class 3 maths questions from our practice bank, with answers and explanations.

Measurement
Q9. Which of these things is most likely to weigh about 1 kilogram?
A) A big bag of sugar
B) A feather
C) A car
D) An eraser
Show answer
Answer: A) A big bag of sugar
A standard big bag of sugar weighs about 1 kilogram — it's a classic example to picture.
- A feather and an eraser are very light — they weigh just grams.
- A car is very heavy — it weighs hundreds of kilograms.
- A big bag of sugar is right around 1 kilogram.
Common mistake: An eraser feels 'heavy enough' in your hand, but it only weighs a few grams — 1 kilogram is 1000 grams!
Remember: Picture a big bag of sugar when you think of 1 kilogram.
Q10. Amir compares three sticks: Stick A is 15 cm, Stick B is 8 cm, and Stick C is 11 cm. Which stick is the shortest?
A) Stick B
B) Stick A
C) Stick C
D) They are all the same
Show answer
Answer: A) Stick B
8 cm is less than 11 cm and 15 cm, so Stick B is the shortest.
- All sticks are measured in cm, so compare the numbers: 15, 8, and 11.
- 8 is the smallest number.
- So Stick B is the shortest.
Common mistake: Picking Stick A is a common slip when the question asks for shortest but our eyes jump to the biggest number.
Remember: Same units? Then the smallest number means the shortest length.
How to help your child with Class 3 Maths
- Ask "how did you get that?" Explaining the method out loud catches lucky guesses and builds real understanding.
- Use real things. Coins, a clock, a measuring tape or a pizza make numbers, time and fractions concrete.
- Do a little every day. Five to ten minutes of mixed practice beats one long weekend session.
- Revisit mistakes. Re-try a wrong question two days later. Getting it right then is what shows it has stuck.
Olympiad connection
Maths practice feeds directly into the IMO (International Mathematics Olympiad), whose Level 1 paper mixes logical reasoning, mathematical reasoning, everyday maths and an Achievers section. Our IMO 2026-27 guide has the full pattern. See our guides: Olympiad exams for Classes 1–5 · logical reasoning practice.
