Measurement Stories is a free printable Grade 1 maths worksheet on problems set in lengths rather than counts, aligned to Common Core standard 1.OA.A.1. It prints 6 questions with an answer key on its own sheet of paper, in 25 versions that each ask different questions, so no two pupils in the class work from the same page.

Set 1. Prints on its own sheet.
It practises problems set in lengths rather than counts — 6 questions for Grade 1, all on Common Core 1.OA.A.1: Solve story problems with adding and subtracting up to 20. The instruction to pupils is “Read carefully, then work out the answer”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.OA.A.1 — 1.OA.A.1, in the Operations & Algebraic Thinking domain for Grade 1. The published standard reads: “Use addition and subtraction within 20 to solve word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing.” The worksheet assesses that standard rather than a paraphrase of it.
Measurement Stories is written for Grade 1, typically ages 6-7. It is one of the sheets on 1.OA.A.1, so it suits any pupil working at that standard — including older pupils revisiting it and younger ones working ahead.
Yes. All 6 answers are generated from the same problems as the questions, so the key cannot drift out of step with the sheet. It starts on a fresh sheet of paper, after the questions, so it is not handed out with the class by accident.
25 — one per pupil, and all 25 ask different questions. Set 1 downloads the whole class as a single PDF. Every version is fixed to its own address, so a sheet printed today holds the same problems when you reopen it next week.
Yes. Measurement Stories, its answer key and its 25 versions are free to print and photocopy for your own class, with no account, no email capture and no subscription at the download step. Please do not resell them or republish them as your own.
