Frequently asked questions

▸What should a Grade 7 student be able to do with word problems?

Scale prices in proportion, find sale prices after a percent discount, and work out profit from buying and selling. The Proportion Stories, Discount & Sale Price and Profit Stories sub-skills target those problems; Proportion Stories' Inverse proportion level uses workers and hours instead of money.

▸Are these money word problems?

Largely. Proportion Stories scales unit prices (except its Inverse proportion level, which uses workers and hours), Discount & Sale Price applies a percent off a marked price, and Profit Stories combines cost, selling price, and quantity, all in whole-dollar amounts. Percent Stories, Rates & Speed and Multi-Step Problems at this grade are not all money-based, so pick by sub-skill if you want money specifically.

▸Can I make the stories easier to read for students who struggle with dense text?

Yes. Turn on the easy-read font option and the problems print in a clearer, more widely spaced typeface, which helps students who lose their place in longer wording without changing the maths.

▸How many word problems should a Grade 7 worksheet have?

6–10 is a solid session because each problem carries reading, a setup (most often proportional) and computation. Use the question-count stepper to size it; the sheet holds up to 12 if you want a longer set.

▸Do these worksheets include integers or algebra?

No. They focus on percent, rate, proportion, discount and profit, plus multi-step stories (one level uses a percent, the others whole-number steps). Integer, ratio, percentage, and pre-algebra practice each have their own generators on the site, so you can target those separately.
