Use this worksheet as a check rather than a lesson. Give it after your child has already met Word Problems in class, and watch which questions slow them down. The pattern of slow answers, not the score, is what tells you what to practise next. Keep the finished sheet so you can compare it with the next one on the same topic.

Frequently asked questions

Is this Word Problems worksheet free to print?

Yes. Every WizKidsHub worksheet is a free printable PDF. You can download it, print it as many times as you need, and photocopy it for a class or tuition group. There is no sign-up and no download limit.

How long should this worksheet take?

Most Grade 5 children finish a single sheet in ten to twenty minutes. If it is taking much longer, the level is probably too high for now - try an earlier worksheet on Word Problems and come back to this one.

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.
