Frequently asked questions

▸What word problems should a Grade 4 student solve?

Multi-step stories with multi-digit numbers — three-digit addition and subtraction, two-digit-by-one-digit multiplication, and two-step problems that multiply then subtract. Most 9–10-year-olds are consolidating two-step reasoning across the year.

▸How much working space do the problems have?

Each story prints with dedicated working space beneath it and an Answer line below that, so multi-digit calculations and the final statement stay on the page, not in the margins.

▸My child solves step one and stops — how do I fix that?

Make underlining the question non-negotiable, then have them re-read what they underlined before writing on the Answer line. Two-step errors are almost always reading errors, not maths errors.

▸Can I make an easier sheet for review?

Yes — pick a narrower sub-skill, such as Addition Stories or Equal Groups Stories, for a warm-up set, then print a Two-Step Group Stories sheet for the main work. The difficulty control eases each of them off a step further. Each sheet takes seconds to generate and all of them are free.

▸Is there an easy-read option for students who struggle with dense text?

Yes. Switch on the easy-read font option and the stories print in a clearer, more widely spaced typeface — useful for students who lose their place in longer problems.
