Mixed word problems worksheet — All four operations, free printable with answer key

The answer key prints on a separate page.

What's on this sheet

Choosing the operation is the skill a word problem is really testing, and a single-operation page hides it — if every problem is multiplication, a child never has to notice that this one is. Mixing addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division on one page forces the reading to come first: what is happening in this story, and which operation matches it?

Why this sheet works

The numbers stay grade-appropriate and friendly across all four operations, so switching between them is a switch of thinking, not a jump in arithmetic difficulty. Division problems still divide evenly, subtraction still stays positive, and every answer remains something a child can check.
