Frequently asked questions
Is there an answer key?
Answers are not printed on the sheet. For Grade 5 Math practice we suggest checking the work together, because talking through a wrong answer teaches more than comparing it with a key.
Can I use this worksheet in my classroom?
Yes. Teachers and tutors are welcome to print and photocopy this sheet for their own students. Worksheets on the same topic are numbered in teaching order, which makes it easy to give different groups different sheets.
My child found this too easy. What next?
Move to the next numbered worksheet in the same Word Problems collection, or try the same topic one grade higher. Grade labels describe the level a sheet was written for, not a limit on who can use it.
