Year 3 Maths practice, done properly

Year 3 Maths practice doesn’t need to feel like a mystery. This page gives you 600 ICAS-style Maths questions for Year 3 students, organised into 15 tests that build from an easy confidence-starter through to genuine ICAS-level challenge questions. Every test covers the core Year 3 Australian Curriculum topics — place value, mental strategies, fractions, measurement, shape, data and more — with every single answer option explained, so a wrong guess still teaches the concept behind it.

Try real questions — easy and hard

Tests are graded from an easy confidence-builder (Test 1, free to try in full) up to genuine ICAS-level challenge questions by Test 15. Here's one of each:

Sample Question — from our free Test 1

What is the value of the digit 7 in 4,725?

A

70

This would be correct if 7 was in the tens place (like in 4,275). Here it is in the hundreds place.

B

700

Correct! The 7 is in the hundreds place, so its value is 7 × 100 = 700.

C

7

This is the digit itself, but not its place value. Many students forget to look at the position.

D

7,000

This would be correct if 7 was in the thousands place (like in 7,425).

Sample Question — Hard tier (Test 15)

Which number, when rounded to the nearest hundred, gives 5,600?

A

5,540

This is closer to 5,500, since the tens digit (4) rounds down to 5,500.

B

5,651

This is closer to 5,700, since the tens digit (5) rounds up.

C

5,649

Correct! The tens digit is 4, which is less than 5, so 5,649 rounds down to 5,600.

D

5,699

This is closer to 5,700, since the tens digit (9) rounds up.
