Grade 3 · MathSheets    Name: ____________________   Date: __________

Find the missing number. Check by putting it back into the equation.

How to solve

Addition and subtraction undo each other. For 250 + ___ = 600, think 600 - 250 = 350, so the missing number is 350. For ___ - 40 = 85, add back: 85 + 40 = 125. Always check by putting your number back in.

40 + ___ = 66

Answer: 26

right so far
1. 27 + ___ = 61
2. ___ + 21 = 70
3. 43 - ___ = 21
4. 12 + ___ = 30
5. ___ - 20 = 56
6. ___ + 33 = 71
7. Max had some beads. Then Max got 11 more. Now Max has 47 beads. How many beads did Max have at first?
