Name: Worksheet
Adding 3 numbers together using doubles and near doubles
Task A: Adding 3 numbers together using doubles
1) Use doubles to help you complete these equations.
4 + 4 + 1 = __ 4 + __ + 6 = 14
4 + 3 + 3 = __ 2 + 2 + __ = 9
5 + 1 + 5 = __ 12 = __ + 3 + 3
3 + 5 + 5 = __ 7 + __ + 7 = 16
__ = 6 + 2 + 6 __ + 8 + 8 = 19
2) Complete each equation using numbers of the same value.
4 + __ + __ = 8 6 + __ + __ = 14
11 = 7 + __ + __ 1 + __ + __ = 15
3 + 2 + 2 = 1 + __ + __
5 + 5 + 5 = __ + 3 + __

Task B: Adding 3 numbers together using near doubles
1) Use near doubles to find the missing number.
4 + 5 + 2 = __ __ = 4 + 5 + 6
3 + 4 + 5 = __ 2 + 3 + __ = 10
__ = 5 + 6 + 8 8 + __ + 7 = 17
2) Use these number cards.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
