Measurement Word Problems — Easy Worksheet 1
Grade 3 · MathSheets Name: ____________________ Date: __________
Read each story and decide whether to add, subtract, multiply or divide. Write just the number.
How to solve
Read the story and find what it asks. Putting amounts together means add. Finding what is left or how much taller, longer or heavier means subtract. Several equal amounts means multiply. Splitting into equal parts means divide. Both amounts already use the same unit, so just work with the numbers, then check that the unit in your answer matches the question.
Example
