How to enhance fluency in solving 5th Grade addition and subtraction online practice and worksheets

We are here to offer 5 th graders basic guides with tips on how to enhance fluency in solving 5th Grade addition and subtraction online practice and worksheets .

First, we will encourage kid's mastering addition and subtraction facts fluency which will help them provide answers quickly and accurately. For instance, with addition facts, a child can easily recall that 50 - 10 = 40.

Also, learning addition and subtraction using the place value is a perfect tool to uplift kids' understanding of regrouping when adding or subtracting problems in math. With this place value method, kids will learn how to write all whole numbers as a sum of other numbers in relation to their base 10 expansion. For instance, 3582 denotes 3 thousand + 5 hundreds + 8 tens + 2 ones.

Also, given that fractions are part of a whole, we will provide thrilling addition and subtraction fractions with like and unlike denominators. While doing this, kids will realize the number of equal parts the whole is divided into. ½ is part of a whole; when these halves (1/2) are added together, they'll make 1. However, we will provide excellent strategies for solving these fraction problems.

Word Problems Involving Addition and Subtraction

Word problems involving addition and subtraction are discussed here step by step.

There are no magic rules to make problem solving easy, but a systematic approach can help to the problems easily. 

Word problems based on addition are broadly of two types: (a) When objects of two or more collections are put together.  For example:

Amy has 20 lemon sweets and 14 orange sweets. What is the total number of sweets Amy has?  (b) When an increase in number takes place. 

For example:

Victor has 14 stamps. His friend gave him 23 stamps. How many stamps does Victor have in all? The key words used in problems involving addition are:

s um; total; in all; all together.

Word problems based on subtraction are of several types: (a) Partitioning : Take away, remove, given away.

(b) Reducing : Find out how much has been given away or how much remains.

(c) Comparison : More than / less than.

(d) Inverse of addition : How much more to be added. The key words to look out for in a problem sum involving subtraction are: take away; how many more ; how many less ; how many left ; greater ; smaller.

1. The girls had 3 weeks to sell tickets for their play. In the first week, they sold 75 tickets. In the second week they sold 108 tickets and in the third week they sold 210 tickets. How may tickets did they sell in all? Tickets sold in the first week = 75

Tickets sold in the second week = 108

Tickets sold in the third week = 210

Total number of tickets sold = 75 + 108 + 210 = 393

Answer: 393 tickets were sold in all.

2. Mr. Bose spent $450 for petrol on Wednesday. He spent $125 more than that on Thursday. How much did he spend on petrol on those two days. This problem has to be solved in two steps.

Step 1: Money spent for petrol on Thursday

450 + 125 = $575 Step 2: Money spent for petrol on both days

450 + 575 = $1025

Examples on word problems on addition and subtraction:

1. What is the sum of 4373, 4191 and 3127? Solution: The numbers are arranged in columns and added.

(i) Ones are added: 3 + 1 + 7 = 11 = 1 Ten + 1 one

(ii) Tens are added: 1 + 7 + 9 + 2 = 19 tens

= 1 hundred + 9 ten

(iii) Hundreds are added: 1 + 3 + 1 + 1 = 6 Hundred

(iv) Thousands are added: 4 + 4 + 3 = 11 Thousand

Therefore, sum =11,691

2. What is the difference of 3867 and 1298?

Solution: The numbers are arranged in columns and subtracted:

(i) Ones are subtracted: 7 < 8

1 is borrowed from 6 ten. So, 1 T or 10 + 7 = 17,

17 - 8 = 9

(ii) Tens are subtracted; 5 T < 9 T,

So, 1 H or 10 T is borrowed from 8 H, 1 H = 10 T + 5 T = 15T

15T - 9T = 6

(iii) Hundreds are subtracted 7 H – 2 H = 5 H

(iv) Thousands are subtracted 3 Th – 1 Th = 2 Th

Therefore, difference = 2569

3. Subtract 4358 from the sum of 5632 and 1324. Solution: Sum of 5632 and 1324

Difference of 6956 and 4358

(i) 6 < 8, 1 T or 10 ones are borrowed

1 T or 10+ 6 =16, 16 - 8 = 8

(ii) 4 T < 5 T, 1 H or 10 T is borrowed

10 T + 4 T = 14 T, 14 T – 5 T = 9 T

(iii) 8 H – 3 H = 5 H

(iv) 6 Th – 4 Th = 2 Th

Therefore, 2598 is the answer.

4. Find the number, which is

(i) 1240 greater than 3267.

(ii) 1353 smaller than 5292. Solution: (i) The number is 1240 more than 3267

Word Problems on Addition

Therefore, the number = 3267 + 1240 or = 4507 (ii) The number is 1353 less than 5292

Word Problems on Subtraction

= 5292 – 1353 or

5. The population of a town is 16732. If there are 9569 males then find the number of females in the town. Solution:

Population of the town

Number of males

Therefore, number of females



=   1 6 7 3 2
=  
=     7 1 6 3

6. In a factory there are 35,675 workers. 10,750 workers come in the first shift, 12,650 workers in the second shift and the rest come in the third shift. How many workers come in the third shift? Solution: Number of workers coming in the first and second shift

Word Problems on Addition

= 10750 + 12650 = 23400

Word Problems on Subtraction

Therefore, number of workers coming in the third shift = 35675 - 23400 = 12275

25 Addition Word Problems For Grades 1-5 With Tips On Supporting Students’ Progress

Emma Johnson

Addition word problems appear throughout the elementary grade levels. Children are introduced to simple addition and subtraction word problems in the early grades. This knowledge is then built upon all the way up to 5th grade when students work with complex multi-step word problems involving large whole numbers and decimal numbers.

In the early stages, in lower and upper elementary, addition word problems are taught through the use of concrete resources and visual images, using and developing subitising skills. As learners become more confident with the formal written methods, they progress to use these to help solve more complex addition and subtraction word problems.

Addition word problems in Kindergarten

Addition word problems in 1st grade, addition word problems in 2nd grade, addition word problems in 3rd grade, addition word problems in 4th grade, addition word problems in 5th grade.

  • Why are word problems important for children’s understanding of addition

How to teach addition word problem-solving in elementary school

Addition word problems for 1st grade, addition word problems for 2nd grade, addition word problems for 3rd grade, addition word problems for 4th grade, addition word problems for 5th grade, looking for more word problems resources.

Children benefit from regular exposure to word problems, alongside any fluency work they are doing. To help you with this, we have created a collection of 25 addition word problems with answer keys, which can be used with students from 1st to 5th grade.

Word Problems Grade 4 Addition and Subtraction

Word Problems Grade 4 Addition and Subtraction

11 grade 4 addition and subtraction questions to develop reasoning and problem solving skills.

Addition word problems in the Common Core

Schools following Common Core will introduce simple addition word problems to children in Kindergarten. By the time students reach 5th grade, they will be exposed to more complex addition word problems.

Students in Kindergarten are introduced to simple one-step problems involving place value addition and subtraction word problems , within 10, through the use of concrete objects and drawings. At this stage, children should be memorizing and reasoning with number bonds to 10. 

In first grade, students continue to use concrete objects and pictorial representations to solve addition problems within 20, including those involving numbers, quantities, measures and simple money word problems. They are also expected to apply their increasing knowledge of mental and written methods, using one and two-digit numbers. 

By second grade, students are starting to tackle more complex addition word problems within 100. Students start working on basic written addition and are introduced to the concept of regrouping. Students start to work with repeated addition as a foundation to multiplication. 

Students in 3rd grade progress to solving two-step problems in contexts, deciding which operations and methods to use and why. They are also beginning to work with larger numbers, continuing to work on basic written addition and the concept of regrouping.

By 4th grade, students are solving multi-step word problems in contexts. They add whole numbers with more than four digits and decimal numbers, beginning to use formal written methods, including the standard algorithm. Children are also adding increasingly larger numbers mentally.

Third Space Learning’s online one-on-one tutoring programs work with students to fill their learning gaps and build confidence in math. Tailored to the needs of each student, the tutoring programs offer students more opportunities to practice their math skills and reach their year group standard.

problem solving involving addition grade 5

Students in 5th grade continue to work with larger numbers and decimals, solving increasingly complex multi-step problems, deciding which operations to use and why. By this stage students should have a solid grasp of the written methods for all four operations.

Schools not following CCSS

Other schools not following Common Core follow the same concepts for teaching addition as shown above, although some individual standards and states may vary slightly. Some concepts may be covered in a different order, depending on the curriculum your school district has adopted. 

Why are word problems important for children’s understanding of addition

Word problems help children make sense of addition. In the early grades, simple story problems aid understanding of what is being asked, alongside the use of concrete resources and visual images. Real-world word problems are an important element of math, giving children the opportunity to put the addition skills they have learned into context, to understand how they can be used in real life.

Students need to be taught how to approach word problems, beginning by reading the questions carefully and making sure they fully understand what is being asked. The next step is to determine what calculation is needed and whether there are concrete resources or pictorial representations (such as a bar model) they can use to help solve it.

Here is an example:

There were 3,756 people on a cruise ship.

456 people get on after the first week, while 623 get off.

How many passengers are on board the ship now after the first week?

How to solve:

What do you already know?

  • There are 3,756 on the cruise ship at the start of the journey.
  • 456 people get on after the first week, therefore we need to add 456 to 3,746. This gives us a total of 4,212 people
  • 623 people get off, so we need to subtract 623 from the total number of passengers now on the ship. When we subtract 623 from 4,212, we get a total of 3,589.

How can this be represented pictorially?

bar model addition

  • We can draw 2 bar models to represent this problem.
  • The number of passengers who got on the ship after the first week is added to the total number of people on the ship at the start of the trip. 
  • We then draw a second bar model to show how many passengers were left on the ship once the 623 passengers got off after the first week.

Addition word problems in 1st grade require students to work with 1 and 2-digit numbers, up to 20. At this stage it is important children are working with concrete resources to support their understanding. Children also begin to learn how to check their answers by finding the inverse of calculations.

Solving word problems both rely the development of reading and language skills. Addition means “putting together” groups of objects and finding how many they are in total while subtraction tells “how many are left” or “how many more or less”.

Steps in Problem Solving:

  • Identify the Problem. Understand what is asked.
  • Encircle important numbers.
  • Underline the keywords. Analyze if it is for addition or subtraction .
  • Solve the problem.
  • Present the answer.

Addition: in all, sum, total, more than, plus, altogether, increased by add

Subtraction: fewer, left, less than, take away, minus, difference, remain, decreased

There are 6 surfboards and the surfer bought another 8 pieces. How many surfboards are there in all?

There were 8 beach balls but 5 of them were damaged. How many beach balls were left?

8 – 5 = 3
