Math Word Problems

Welcome to the math word problems worksheets page at Math-Drills.com! On this page, you will find Math word and story problems worksheets with single- and multi-step solutions on a variety of math topics including addition, multiplication, subtraction, division and other math topics. It is usually a good idea to ensure students already have a strategy or two in place to complete the math operations involved in a particular question. For example, students may need a way to figure out what 7 × 8 is or have previously memorized the answer before you give them a word problem that involves finding the answer to 7 × 8.

There are a number of strategies used in solving math word problems; if you don't have a favorite, try the Math-Drills.com problem-solving strategy:

  • Question : Understand what the question is asking. What operation or operations do you need to use to solve this question? Ask for help to understand the question if you can't do it on your own.
  • Estimate : Use an estimation strategy, so you can check your answer for reasonableness in the evaluate step. Try underestimating and overestimating, so you know what range the answer is supposed to be in. Be flexible in rounding numbers if it will make your estimate easier.
  • Strategize : Choose a strategy to solve the problem. Will you use mental math, manipulatives, or pencil and paper? Use a strategy that works for you. Save the calculator until the evaluate stage.
  • Calculate : Use your strategy to solve the problem.
  • Evaluate : Compare your answer to your estimate. If you under and overestimated, is the answer in the correct range. If you rounded up or down, does the answer make sense (e.g. is it a little less or a little more than the estimate). Also check with a calculator.

The first number in the multiplication is called the multiplicand, the second number is called the multiplier and the answer is called the product.

The following diagram shows the parts of a multiplication: multiplicand, multiplier and product. Scroll down the page for more examples and solutions on multiplication.

Parts of Multiplication

Remember : Any number multiplied by 0 becomes 0.

Example: 1,343,244,654 × 0 = 0.

Multiplication of 2 numbers a and b , written as a × b , is actually a repeated addition of the number a over b times.

Example: 6 × 4 = 6 times of 4 = 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 24

To multiply numbers with more than one digit correctly, all digits must be placed in the correct position starting from the right.

math problem solving questions multiplication

If the multiplier has 2 or more digits then it is necessary to calculate the partial products first and then add them to get the final product.

math problem solving questions multiplication

Avoid the following common mistakes in multiplication .

math problem solving questions multiplication

Examples A and B have numbers in the wrong positions – wrong place values.

Example C – it is confusing to multiply more than 2 numbers at one time. Multiply the first 2 numbers and then use the result to multiply with the third number to get the final answer.

Problem Solving on Multiplication

Problem solving on multiplication will help us to get the idea on how to solve the basic multiplication statement problems.

1.  Three groups of ponies are eating. There are 2 ponies in each group. How many ponies are there in all?

Solution: 

Number of groups of ponies = 3

Number of ponies in each group = 2

Therefore, total number ponies = 3 × 2 = 6

2.  A coloring-pen cost 4 dollars. How many dollars Alex must have paid for 5 coloring-pens?

Cost of a coloring-pen = $4

Number of coloring-pens = 5

Therefore, cost of 5 coloring-pens = $4 × 5 = $20

3. Andy had 2 groups of toy kittens. There were 5 kittens in each group. He put all the kittens in a basket. How many kittens were in the basket?

Number of groups of toy kittens Andy had = 2

Number of kittens in each group = 5

Therefore, total number of kittens in the basket = 2 × 5 = 10

4. A table has 4 corners. In a classroom there are 8 tables. How many corners do 8 tables have in all?

Number of corners a table has = 4

Number of tables = 8

Therefore, total number of corners 8 tables have = 4 × 8 = 32

More examples on statement problem solving on multiplication:

5. John is 9 years old. His brother is 3 times older than him. How old is John’s brother?

Age of John = 9 years

Number of times his brother is older than John = 3

Age of John’s brother = 9 × 3 = 27 years

6. Mary is 5 years old. Her mother is 7 times as old as she is. How old is her mother?

Armed with 120 examples to spark ideas, making your own math word problems can engage your students and ensure alignment with lessons. Do:

  • Link to Student Interests:  By framing your word problems with student interests, you’ll likely grab attention. For example, if most of your class loves American football, a measurement problem could involve the throwing distance of a famous quarterback.
  • Make Questions Topical:  Writing a word problem that reflects current events or issues can engage students by giving them a clear, tangible way to apply their knowledge.
  • Include Student Names:  Naming a question’s characters after your students is an easy way make subject matter relatable, helping them work through the problem.
  • Be Explicit:  Repeating keywords distills the question, helping students focus on the core problem.
  • Test Reading Comprehension:  Flowery word choice and long sentences can hide a question’s key elements. Instead, use concise phrasing and grade-level vocabulary.
  • Focus on Similar Interests:  Framing too many questions with related interests -- such as football and basketball -- can alienate or disengage some students.
  • Feature Red Herrings:  Including unnecessary information introduces another problem-solving element, overwhelming many elementary students.

A key to differentiated instruction , word problems that students can relate to and contextualize will capture interest more than generic and abstract ones.

Final thoughts about math word problems

You’ll likely get the most out of this resource by using the problems as templates, slightly modifying them by applying the above tips. In doing so, they’ll be more relevant to -- and engaging for -- your students.

Regardless, having 120 curriculum-aligned math word problems at your fingertips should help you deliver skill-building challenges and thought-provoking assessments.

The result?

How I feel about GPT-4o helping my kid learn math

  • ChatGPT-4o can solve math problems from images, providing step-by-step hints for understanding solutions.
  • Parents can benefit from ChatGPT as a learning tool, relieving pressure to know math and offering guidance for kids.
  • Risk of kids cheating using ChatGPT exists, but parents can implement strategies to ensure understanding and avoid cheating.

In its spring update, OpenAI showed off its newest model: GPT-4o . This model brings a lot of the power of GPT-4 to the free version of ChatGPT, allowing those who don't have a paid subscription to access some of the more powerful features that ChatGPT can offer, such as the ability to generate art with readable text rather than nonsense.

This obviously has consequences for parents, both good and bad.

5 new GPT-4o features making ChatGPT better than ever

The update showcased the impressive conversational ChatGPT-4o 's capabilities, and also demonstrated how you can use ChatGPT-4o to help you solve a math equation by taking an image of the equation and asking for hints on how to find a solution. This obviously has consequences for parents, both good and bad.

Kids are already using ChatGPT to complete written assignments for them, with various levels of success, so what will happen now that solving a math assignment is as simple as snapping a photo? As a parent, here's how I feel about ChatGPT-4o being able to help my kids learn math.

What can GPT-4o do?

Solving math problems from images.

In its spring update demonstration, ChatGPT was shown the equation 3x+1=4 written down on a sheet of paper. The chatbot was then asked what equation was written down, and the correct equation was extracted from the image .

ChatGPT was then asked what the first step would be to try to solve this equation. The response was to get all the terms with x on one side, and all the constants on the other side. It then asks: What do you think we should do with that +1?

The host subtracted one from both sides to leave 3x=3 . ChatGPT then gave another hint: You have 3x, and you want to find the value of x. Think about what operation would undo multiplication. After incorrectly guessing subtraction, ChatGPT gave another hint: Think of the opposite of multiplication. The host was then able to complete the solution by dividing both sides by 3.

With GPT-4o, ChatGPT can generate art with text thats actually readable

Why gpt-4o's math abilities are good for parents, chatgpt knows math, so you don't have to.

They can ask ChatGPT for help with what to do next, without being spoon-fed the answer.

Solving written equations isn't something completely new . But as you could see from the demonstration, ChatGPT-4o wasn't just able to provide a solution for a math question. It was able to provide hints that could help to figure out what to try next. When the host gave an incorrect suggestion (to subtract instead of divide), ChatGPT broke the question down even further. At no point did ChatPGT tell the host what to do until he'd made the correct suggestion himself.

As a learning tool for kids , this is great. When they're working through a question, they can ask ChatGPT for help with what to do next, without being spoon-fed the answer. It means that they get an understanding of what they're doing, rather than simply copying down a solution from a screen without knowing why those steps are required.

Even for parents with a math background, there may be some challenging math questions from your older kids that you just don't remember how to solve.

I'm good at math, so helping my children with this type of question wouldn't be a problem, but many parents will have hated math at school, or simply not remember enough of it to confidently help their kids with this type of question. In these situations, having ChatGPT lend a helping hand is great for the kids and great for the parents. Even for parents with a math background, there may be some challenging math questions from your older kids that you just don't remember how to solve.

ChatGPT has the potential to be a really useful learning tool and can certainly take the pressure off parents having to know enough math to be able to do their kids' homework.

I tried NotebookLM with Gemini 1.5 Pro and its nothing like ChatGPT

Why gpt-4o's math could be bad for parents, cheating has never been easier.

Well, let's start with the obvious. Unless you physically stand watch over your child while they're doing their math assignments, you have no way of knowing if their work is all their own, if they had help from ChatGPT, or whether they got ChatGPT or any other AI to do the whole thing. There is the risk that your child will get AI to do all of their assignments for them and never learn a thing. Unfortunately, when it comes to examinations, ChatGPT isn't going to be allowed.

Another big issue that didn't come up in the demonstration is that ChatGPT can still get stuff wrong. I had a play around with the new ChatGPT-4o and asked it to solve a differential calculus problem. It was able to reach the correct solution, but to do so it had to use the product rule. The definition it gave for the product rule was completely wrong and would have led to a completely different solution. There's a clear danger that apps like ChatGPT could actively teach our kids the wrong things, or at best leave them severely confused.

Did Google sneak a pair of A/R glasses into its I/O demo?

What do educators think, great in theory, but needs to pass the kid test.

I spoke to Pocket-lint's resident educator and librarian, Kenzie Davison , who has recently spent time in an elementary classroom helping students practice for their fifth-grade state exams. Davison had a very interesting take on the ChatGPT-4o demonstration.

Her first concern was that although the chat seemed to emulate a typical tutoring session, we were actually watching an adult with a math background and a wealth of experience using ChatGPT . It's unlikely that the conversation would have gone as smoothly with your typical kid.

Her second point was that children learn by asking questions, and they often don't ask the 'right' question the first, second, or even third time. You need an understanding of the topic before you know what the right questions to ask are, and many kids may not know where to begin.

The host does interrupt ChatGPT when things go awry here and there during the demo to remind ChatGPT of context or clarify what was actually being asked. But from her experience, the interruptions with kids would come more frequently and a touch less elegantly when actually tutoring. She wonders if ChatGPT holds up to that kind of feedback and still gives helpful suggestions? Or does it tend to fall apart?

Ultimately, despite it being very helpful and interesting, she wants to see a live demo with a fifth-grade student or a group of students before she jumps on board.

Overall, she felt that while it was an impressive display, in its current form it would likely cause more frustration than a real tutoring session, as it lacks the contextual awareness that teachers bring. Ultimately, despite it being very helpful and interesting, she wants to see a live demo with a fifth-grade student or a group of students before she jumps on board.

Gemini will make searching your overwhelming Google Photos library suddenly easy

What can parents do to stop cheating with ai, don't dismantle their phone just yet.

This risk of kids using tech to cheat on their assignments isn't anything new. Websites such as Wolfram Alpha have been able to provide step-by-step solutions to math problems for years and are easily accessible on any phone. There's nothing inherent in ChatGPT-4o that allows your child to cheat any better than they could before. Even before smartphones, kids could copy someone else's work without ever having to understand it.

The big difference is that using ChatGPT can actually help your child work through a problem without being given the entire solution at once, which could be genuinely useful for some children. It can offer hints and tips even when you can't.

However, the risk of cheating is still there. There are some strategies that can help, such as asking your child to explain their solution to you. If they can't, it's highly likely it's not their own work. Do this a few times, and they may begin to give up on trying to cheat.

Using ChatGPT can actually help your child work through a problem without being given the entire solution at once, which could be genuinely useful for some children. It can offer hints and tips even when you can't.

If they can explain it to you, however, then even better. Teaching someone else how to solve a problem is one of the best ways to reinforce learning, and it can really encourage your kids if they think they're teaching you something you don't already know, because who doesn't like to get one up on their parents?

Google is bringing homework help and a multimodal Gemini Nano to Android

This is just the beginning, ai ain't going away.

The rise of generative AI has been explosive, to say the least, and it doesn't show any sign of slowing down. Models are only going to get more powerful and more accessible, so trying to fight against the use of AI by your kids is only going to end one way.

I believe ChatGPT-4o and whatever comes next can potentially help rather than hinder your kids' education.

Ultimately, if you're honest with your kids about how it can be used to cheat, but can also be used to help you learn, and you make it clear that you're going to be getting them to explain their work occasionally, then I believe ChatGPT-4o and whatever comes next can potentially help rather than hinder your kids' education.

Learning with the Math Scholars

Education doctoral student brings her students with learning differences to usc for a day of fun with mathematics.

They call themselves the Math Scholars — a group of eight sixth-grade students at Currey Ingram Academy near Nashville, Tennessee.  

  It’s a name that neither the students nor their parents could have imagined a couple of years ago. These 11- and 12-year-olds with learning differences had long struggled with mathematics, having trouble staying on task and performing basic math skills.  

That changed in Dawn Pilotti’s classroom. Pilotti, a long-time mathematics teacher and an online doctoral student in USC’s College of Education, uses tools to make mathematics “more real” to the students. And with an assist from her doctoral advisor, USC associate professor Kristin Harbour, the students now count mathematics among their favorite subjects.   

Pilotti has been teaching mathematics and special education for 26 years — the past 10 at Currey Ingram Academy, a research-based, model school for students with learning differences. This is her second year teaching the group of students now known as the Math Scholars.  

Girl sits at desk doing math problem, holding pencil

  “ This group of students was really struggling in math when they came into fifth grade,” Pilotti says. “We were working on some kindergarten-level skills last year in fifth grade. They were years behind in where they needed to be.”  

  Pilotti teaches mathematics by focusing on real world problems and using a lot of manipulatives to help students understand concepts. It makes mathematics a visual subject for the students at the school, 70 percent of whom have language-based learning disabilities. The Math Scholars now are performing nearly on grade level in mathematics.  

And in April, they brought their stories — and their math skills — to a USC classroom.  

The seeds for the trip started with a story on the College of Education’s website about Pilotti’s experience in USC’s online doctoral program concentrated in the STEM field. The story mentioned she was drawn to the program partly because of the chance to work with Harbour, whose expertise is in the intersection of mathematics education, special education and professional development. The story, which included pictures of Pilotti’s students in her Tennessee classroom, intrigued the students, who were thrilled to see themselves on a university’s website. And they had a lot of questions about Harbour.  

Harbour and Pilotti talked frequently about her mathematics students, discussing how Pilotti could take what she was learning in her USC doctoral program and apply it in a practical way with students and teachers at Currey Ingram. Soon, Harbour was meeting the Math Scholars on their computer screen and learning more about what they were doing in class.   

Teacher leans over desk to help students working on math problems

“Dawn is an exceptional teacher for them, and she wanted them to know that other people were in their corner and that I was one of them,” Harbour says. “I think that gave them the idea that this person in South Carolina cared about their math understanding and was working with their teacher to help make them confident mathematicians. And they really felt empowered by that. They were reaching beyond just their classroom.”  

Soon, Harbour was learning more about their stories.  

“For me, it's been this magnificent experience to see how I can still build relationships with kids at a distance,” Harbour says. “And seeing how that can influence them has been a really eye-opening experience.”  

But another surprise came for the students. Their parents, teachers and the College of Education arranged for some in-person face time with Harbour. In April, they made the nearly seven-hour road trip from Nashville to Columbia, where they were welcomed to the USC campus and spent the day solving mathematics problems, collecting data on a scavenger hunt, showing their work to their parents and sharing their story with the USC community.

“I love that we got to do the same kinds of math that we do at school in Nashville in South Carolina, and our amazing math teacher Ms. Pilotti and Dr. Harbour were both there together doing it with us,” says Math Scholar Elle Steele.

For the parents, it was a chance to celebrate their children’s accomplishments. After researching 25 schools for children with learning differences, Kenda and Bob Lovecchio moved from Austin, Texas, to Nashville last year so their son Kai could attend C urrey Ingram Academy. Pilotti was his first teacher.  

“Math was his worst subject,” Bob Lovecchio says. “ELA (English Language Arts) was his favorite. It has switched to math being his favorite. He’s the most confident in math. He does his homework independently.”  

It’s a similar story for Kimberly and David Silvus, whose 12-year-old son Grant is a student in Pilotti’s class.  

“Math is the only subject he comes home and talks to me about,” says Kimberly Silvus. “He uses math homework as an excuse to not go to bed on time.”  

Her husband, David, says, “He’s doing math we were not sure he’d be capable of — multiplication, fractions, division. All of it.”

Pilotti gives plenty of credit to her students, who she says are supportive of each other and work really well together. And Harbour has enjoyed the front-row seat to see the remarkable strides the students have made.  

“When Dawn first started working with them, they were so petrified of math because they felt beaten down, they had just not had successes in math at that point,” Harbour says. “And just the miraculous turnaround in their learning and their confidence is truly the essence of this beautiful story.”  

Ryan O’Grady, said his son Elliott has thrived at the Nashville school and especially in Pilotti’s math class, a subject that was difficult for him in the past. The day at USC helped reinforce the idea that college is attainable for his son.  

“To come here (to USC) and see that there are people who care, that there are professors here who are interested in the next generation,” O’Grady says. “It makes it possible to dream about what’s possible.”
