Tricks for Solving Word Problems

The math worksheets on this section of the site deal with simple word problems appropriate for primary grades. The simple addition word problems can be introduced very early, in first or second grade depending on student aptitude. Follow those worksheets up with the subtraction word problems once subtraction concept are covered, and then proceed with multiplication and division word problems in the same fashion.

Word problems are often a source of anxiety for students because we tend to introduce math operations in the abstract. Students struggle to apply even elementary operations to word problems unless they have been taught consistently to think about math operations in their day to day routines. Talking with kids regularly about 'how many more do you need' or 'how many do you have left over' or other seemingly simple questions when asked regularly can build that basic number sense that helps enormously when word problems and applied math start to show up.

There are many tricks for solving word problems that can bridge the gap, and they can be helpful tools if students are either struggling with where to start with a problem or just need a way to check their thinking on a particular problem.

Make sure your student reads the entire problem first. It is very easy to start reading a word problem and think after the first sentence or two that 'I know what they're asking for...' and then have the problem take an entirely different turn. Overcoming this early solution bias can be difficult, and it is much better to develop the habit of making a complete pass over the problem before deciding on a path to the solution.

There are particular words that seem to show up in word problems for different operations that can tip you off to what might be the correct operation to apply. These key words aren't a sure-fire way to know what to do with a problem, but they can be a useful starting point.

For example, phrases like 'combined,' 'total,' 'together' or 'sum' are very often signals that the problem is going to involve addition.

Subtraction word problems very often use words such as 'difference,' 'less,' or 'decrease' in their wording. Word problems for younger kids will also use verbs like 'gave' or 'shared' as a stand-in for subtraction.

The key phrases to watch out for multiplication word problems include obvious ones like 'times' and 'product,' but also be on the look out for 'for each' and 'every.'

Learning when to apply division in a word problem can be tricky, especially for younger kids who haven't fully developed a concept of what division can be used for... But that's exactly why division word problems can be so useful! If you see words like 'per' or 'among' in the word problem text, your division radar should be sounding off loud and clear. Pay attention to 'shared among' and make sure students don't confuse this phrasing with a subtraction word problem. That's a clear example of when paying attention to the language is very important.

Draw a Picture!

One key bit of advice, especially for basic word problems, is to encourage students to draw a picture. Most early grade school word problems are basic counting exercises, where you're dealing with quantities or sets that are fairly small. If students can draw a picture of the problem (even using simple representations like squares or circles for the units discussed in the problem), then it can help them visualize exactly what's occurring.

Another useful visualization strategy is to use manipulatives. Paper clips, checkers or other handy objects can stand in place of the problem's subject, and this provides an opportunity to work up other simple examples with different numbers.

About the Word Problem Types

Help your students build their math skills and learn to solve word problems using tape diagrams with my Tape Diagram Anchor Charts .

Total Unknown / Add To Word Problems

These are the most basic addition word problems; problems that require students to add to find the total or the whole. They include problems in which two different kinds are added (e.g., The parking lot has 30 cars and 25 trucks. How many vehicles are there in total?) and problems in which more is added to the original value (e.g., Ella has 7 seashells and she gets 19 more from her friend. How many seashells does Ella have now?) Students can model to solve these problems by drawing both parts, and then adding to find the sum or total.

Take Away Word Problems

These are the most basic subtraction word problems; problems that give students the total, and then ask them to take some objects from the total to see how many remain. For example: At a birthday party, there were 23 cupcakes. 9 cupcakes were eaten. How many cupcakes are left? Students need to subtract to solve these problems.

Part Unknown Word Problems

These problems are somewhat similar to take away problems, in that students are given the total and need to subtract. However, they are different and often more challenging, because nothing is “taken away” – rather, there are two parts, and students need to find the value of one of the two parts. An example of this kind of problem is: A farm has 96 animals. 63 of them are cows, and the others are sheep. How many sheep are on the farm? Students can model by drawing the whole and splitting it into two parts, then taking away the known part so that only the unknown remains. Some students, especially in lower grades, find it easier to make sense of these problems by using addition with a missing addend, rather than subtraction.

Comparison – Difference Unknown Word Problems

Comparison word problems are among the most difficult addition and subtraction problems for many students. Student can struggle to understand what the question is asking when given two parts and asked to find the difference (e.g. A garden has 83 tulips and 33 daffodils. How many more tulips are there than daffodils?) These problems can be challenging not only mathematically, but also in terms of reading comprehension! Students benefit greatly from learning to draw a comparison tape diagram to make sense of the problem before choosing an operation to solve. In the case of difference unknown problems, students will need to subtract the smaller part from the larger part in order to determine the difference between them.

Comparison – Smaller Part Unknown Word Problems

In these comparison word problems, students are given the difference and larger part, and need to subtract to find the smaller part (e.g., A camel can drink 98 liters of water. A horse can drink 30 liters fewer than a camel. How many liters can the horse drink?). These can be particularly challenging for students when the word “more” is involved, making them think that they need to add the given numbers (e.g., A strawberry has 27 more seeds than a raspberry. If a strawberry has 80 seeds, how many seeds does a raspberry have?). Again, students benefit greatly from first representing the problem with a tape diagram, then choosing the appropriate operation to solve.

Comparison – Larger Part Unknown Word Problems

These comparison word problems are the inverse of comparison with smaller part unknown. Students are given the difference and the smaller part, and they need to add to find the larger part (e.g., A kid's toolbox has 13 tools. An adult's toolbox has 44 more tools than the kid's toolbox. How many tools does the adult's toolbox have?). Again, these can be particularly confusing when the word “fewer” in the problem leads students to believe that they should subtract, when in fact they need to add to solve (e.g., The bakery has 10 baguettes ready for sale. This is 63 fewer than the supermarket has ready for sale. How many baguettes does the supermarket have?). Once again, students benefit from drawing tape diagrams to help them make sense of the problem and solve.

What should my students be working on in each grade level?

My suggestions for each grade level, given below, are based on the Common Core Learning Standards. Although some states have adopted their own learning standards, many of them follow a similar pattern to the CCLS. However, my worksheets are fully customizable, so you can create the worksheets that you need to meet your state standards, or to meet the needs of the students in your room. Every teacher knows their students best! Keeping that in mind, my best guidance is below.

This guide is also extremely helpful when thinking about the kinds of word problems your students are expected to master at each grade level.

Kindergarten Word Problems

Kindergarten students are learning about mathematical operations and word problems for the first time. Generally, kindergarten word problems fall into the Total Unknown / Add To and Take Away categories. Kindergarten students learn to solve word problems within 10 using one-digit numbers. They can and should use objects and drawings to represent the problem concretely, and they also start to learn to use addition and subtraction equations to represent their thinking.

I recommend introducing Total Unknown / Add To word problems within 10, and Take Away word problems within 10 separately as the operations of addition and subtraction are introduced. Later on, kindergarten students can work on identifying if a problem requires adding more or taking away, and choosing an appropriate drawing or model and equation to match.

For kindergarten math worksheets, I recommend Total Unknown / Add To and Take Away within 10. Students should have access to drawings or manipulatives to help them solve.

First Grade Word Problems

1st grade math students work on all types of addition and subtraction word problems within 20. They should be using objects or drawings in addition to equations to help them solve. First grade students will have a stronger understanding of Total Unknown / Add To and Take Away word problems from kindergarten, but they may struggle with Part Unknown and Comparison word problems. They benefit from learning to use tape diagrams , number bonds, or other models to help them make sense of the relationship between the numbers in math problems and to solve according to the situation.

In first grade math, I recommend introducing Part Unknown word problems within 10 and then within 20, with a heavy emphasis on use of drawings and manipulatives to make sense of these problems. Some students may find it easier to use missing-addend addition rather than subtraction to make sense of these problems. This is a valid solution strategy, but push them to understand the relationship between addition and subtraction so that they are able to subtract as needed when solving with larger numbers in upper grades.

Students tend to struggle the most with comparison word problems. They benefit from explicit instruction in using tape diagrams and lots of guided practice drawing and modeling the problem. I recommend ensuring that students can model the problem appropriately rather than trying to give them “tricks” to find the correct operation – remember, in these types of problems, the word “fewer” can sometimes mean that you need to add to solve! Once students are solid with modeling the problem, they are usually able to choose the correct operation needed to solve.

For first grade math worksheets, I recommend using any of the problem types within 20. Students will likely need extra assistance with comparison problems, particularly those in which the “key word” indicates the opposite operation to that which is actually needed.

Second Grade Word Problems

2nd grade students work on all types of addition and subtraction word problems within 100. Although they have been introduced to all of the word problem types in earlier grades, they may still struggle with some of the more challenging ones, particularly comparison word problems.

Also in second grade math, students learn to add and subtract with regrouping using concepts of place value. Word problems are a great opportunity to practice applying this skill in more “real world” contexts. However, I suggest that when introducing new or challenging word problem types, use simpler numbers or problems that do not require adding or subtracting with regrouping. This will allow second graders to focus on the structure of the word problem. Once students develop more mastery of word problems and more fluency with addition and subtraction with regrouping, the two skills can be combined for more intensive practice.

For second grade word problem worksheets, I recommend using any of the problem types within 100, with or without regrouping, depending on the needs of your students.

Third Grade Word Problems

In 3rd grade math, students work on all types of addition and subtraction word problems within 1,000. By now, students should be quite familiar with addition and subtraction word problem types, although they may still need more practice representing and solving comparison word problems and other tricky word problem types.

Keep in mind that the emphasis in third grade is on introducing multiplication and division word problems and on practicing multi-step word problems. However, many students still benefit from targeted review of tricky one-step addition and subtraction word problem types!

For third grade math worksheets, I recommend targeting addition and subtraction problem types based on the needs of your students, to fill gaps in understanding as needed. Word problems can also be a great opportunity to practice applying the standard algorithms for addition and subtraction within 1,000 to real-world scenarios.

Hi! My name is Miss Becca, and I’m an elementary school teacher in New York. Over the course of my teaching career, I’ve taught every grade from kindergarten through fifth grade. I’m certified in both special and general education, and I’ve taught students from both populations.

I’ve never been fully happy with the various free math sheet generators out there. I feel that many of them are targeted towards high school or middle school students, and they don’t really understand the elementary school classroom. My biggest pet peeve is math worksheets that give students almost no space to show their work! Little kids need space to work, and they often have LARGE handwriting! I wanted to make a math sheets generator that was specific to elementary school students, both for my own use and for other teachers!

Tackling word problems in math can be challenging for kids to learn. We called them story problems when I was in school. If your kids are learning math key words so they can solve word problems, they you’ll find these free cheat sheets and worksheets for word problem key words helpful. 

Math Word Problem Key Words

There is no doubt that mathematical operations using words are difficult for kids. They go from counting numbers to doing math equations with numbers.

Then all of a sudden… there are words, just words . All of a sudden algebraic expressions and mathematical operations are POOF – words.

The lack of numbers and shift in mindset can completely throw off a lot of students. If kids have difficulty with reading, then that is yet another struggle for kids as they try to learn basic problems in math.

Teaching students about challenging math keywords just got easier!

We have a FREE download of the Math Word Problems Keywords Cheat Sheet available for you at the bottom of this post. Keep scrolling to get your copy today!

Why do some kids struggle with word problems?

A key proponent in different operations in math is learning the key words that prompt kids to understand which operation skill they need to use to solve the problem.

This means that they should master regular math problems first and be able to read with comprehension. You will shortly find that if these two skills aren’t somewhat mastered first, then word problems will become an issue.

Many times math is a subject best taught in sequential order. If one step is missed, then the future steps falter. This is much like how it is when teaching word problems.

The best thing for your children is for them to first:

• Be able to read well.
• Understand math concepts and phrases.
• Know to not rush, but focus on math key words, identify relevant information, and understand the text.
• Get to know the keywords for math word problems

What are keywords for math word problems?

Key words in mathematical word operations are the words or phrases that will signal or show a student which type of math operation to choose in order to solve the math word problem.

The keywords for math word problems used in operations are a strategy that helps the math problem make sense and draw connections to how it can be answered.

Basically, when using key words, students must decipher whether they need to solve the math equation via addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.

What are the common keywords for math word problems?

Thankfully, there are math key words that our children can learn that help them work through their word problems. They are prompts that point them in the right direction.

Just like a different language needs words translated for comprehension, students translate the words… into math .

Keywords for Math Word Problems

Learning these math keywords will help with problem solving:

Addition Math Key Words:

• increased by
• larger than
• in addition to
• how much in all

Subtraction Math Key Words:

• how many more
• how many less
• shorter than
• smaller than

Key Words for Multiplication Word Problems:

• multiplied by
• double/twice

Key Words used for Division Word Problems:

• equal group
• how many in each

You can print off a free math key words cheat sheet that has the above math key words for word problems and add it to your homeschool binder . Find the download link at the bottom of this post. 

How can we help kids learn keywords for solving numberless word problems?

Teach kids steps for solving word problems until it becomes a habit or they get comfortable with the steps. First, they can look for the important information and write those down. (Read the problem carefully). Next, kids need to define or find the variables in the math equation.

From the keywords, kids can now determine what math operation to use. Translate the words to math. Then, kids can solve the math equation. This is where the skills of solving numbered equations are important.

Finally, students have to put their answers in the form of a word sentence. NOTE: Many times kids think after solving the equation they are done. However, the key to making sure they understand that word problems need word answers.

Different Strategies to Familiarize Keywords in Word Operations

You can use some of these keywords for math word problems as vocabulary words in your homeschool.

Students can display subtraction, addition, multiplication, and multiplication handy reference posters on a bulletin board in your homeschool area. Students can also just list them on dry erase boards . These are perfect visual reminders for what keywords go with what math word problems.

Your students can also keep their keywords for math word problems with them as they study. They can place the list of keywords in a math folder or in an anchor chart – and then in their math folder.

Kids can keep the keyword poster sets in their math notebooks or keep them in a word problem journal .

Their strategy for learning word problem keywords all depends on how they best absorb information.

Students may do well using a combination of these methods. Either way, all of these different strategies can be used to get them comfortable in identifying the route to solve math word equations.

Word Problem Key Words for Math

Math word problems are probably the first opportunity students get to understand how math relates to real world situations. The applications can be relevant in their real life experiences like going to the market.

However, the benefit to word problems doesn’t stop there…

With word problems, students develop their higher-order thinking and critical thinking skills.

Different types of word problems guide your students to applying math various math concepts at the same time. They have to know basic number sense, basic algebra skills, and even geometry when they attempt multiplication word problems.

If we do it the right way, kids won’t see word problems as a dreadful experience in math. Understanding word problems is a learning curve and doesn’t come easily to kids.

Identify Learning Gaps

Another important aspect of word problems is that they tell a parent/teacher if a child needs help in areas like reading comprehension or math number operations skills. This type of word math is a great evaluation of your student’s thinking processes.

We can, however, help make it a better experience for them by teaching it the right way.

3rd Grade Math Word Problems Worksheets

Word problems for third grade.

Math word problems help deepen a student's understanding of mathematical concepts by relating mathematics to everyday life. 

These worksheets are best attempted after a student has studied the underlying skill; for example, our 'addition in columns" word problem worksheets should not be attempted until students are comfortable with addition in columns. 

In many of our word problems we intentionally include superfluous data , so that students need to read and think about the questions carefully, rather than simply applying a computation pattern to solve the problems.

Addition word problems for third grade

Simple addition word problems

Column form addition word problems

Mixed add and subtract word problems

Subtraction word problems

Simple subtraction word problems

Subtraction in columns word problems

Multiplication word problems

Multiples of 10

Mixed multiply & divide word problems

Division word problems

Long division word problems

Fraction word problems

Identifying and comparing fractions word problems

Adding and subtracting fractions word problems

Mixed 3rd grade word problems

The following worksheets contain a mix of grade 3 addition, subtraction, multiplication and division word problems .  Mixing math word problems tests the understanding mathematical concepts, as it forces students to analyze the situation rather than mechanically apply a solution.

Mixed word problems - mental math  

Mixed word problems - column math

Mixed word problems - simpler form   (shorter texts, no superfluous data)

Measurement word problems for grade 3

These word problems combine the 4 operations with real world units of length, time, volume and mass. There is no conversion of units.

Length word problems

Time word problems

Mass & weight word problems

Volume & capacity word problems.

Word problems with variables

These grade 3 word problems introduce students to using variables ("x, y, etc.") to represent unknowns. The problems are relatively simple, but emphasize the use of variables and the writing of equations.

Word problems with variables (variable is chosen for the student)

Writing variables to solve word problems (student chooses the variable)
