Quick answer: how do I build a good worksheet?

A good word problem worksheet is focused and level appropriate. Use one or two topics at a time, match the difficulty to the class, and include an answer key for quick checking.

• Start with a single topic when students are new to word problems.
• Mix topics only after students show confidence.
• Use ten to fifteen questions for a focused session.
