About this worksheet
Eight Christmas number riddles for 3rd grade about cookies, lights, candy canes and bells: multiples, rounding, square numbers and place value to 999. Every riddle has exactly one answer. Answer key on page 2. Third graders can use it for independent reading practice and to look back in the text for evidence. Red, green and gold make a classic Christmas palette.
Tips for using it
- Add white for snow.
- Read the riddle twice: the first time for fun, the second time to look for the trick word.
- Ask "what else could that word mean?" when a riddle seems impossible.
- Let your child be the riddle master and read riddles to you; reading aloud to an audience builds fluency.
Printing tips
Download the PDF and print at 100% (or “fit to page” on A4). Page 1 is the worksheet and page 2 is the answer key with the answers in red; print just page 1 if you want to keep the answers for checking. The PNG shows page 1 only. Free for personal, family and classroom use.
