Six story problems at a 3rd grade level, mixing addition and subtraction within 1,000, multiplication and division facts, two-step problems and simple fractions. Each problem has a box for showing work and an answer line with its unit (apples, dollars, teams), and the answer key gives every answer.
Names and contexts change with every new sheet, and the numbers are always sensible for the story: no 700-bird trees. Pick your child's grade above, or go straight to a grade: kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 4th or 5th grade. Or choose a skill: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division or two-step.
Tips for using it
- Read the problem twice: once for the story, once for the numbers and the question.
- Ask your child to draw a quick picture or bar model before choosing an operation.

Questions
Why are word problems hard for kids?
They combine reading, deciding which operation to use and computing. Most mistakes come from choosing the wrong operation, so talk about what is happening in the story before solving.
How do I help my child with word problems?
Have them retell the story in their own words, draw it, and say what the question asks. Then decide whether things are being joined, separated, compared or grouped.
