Set 1. Prints on its own sheet.
It practises compare problems, where nothing is added or removed — 6 questions for Kindergarten, all on Common Core K.OA.A.2: Solve simple adding and taking-away story problems up to 10. The instruction to pupils is “Read carefully, then work out the answer”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.OA.A.2 — K.OA.A.2, in the Operations & Algebraic Thinking domain for Kindergarten. The published standard reads: “Solve addition and subtraction word problems, and add and subtract within 10, e.g., by using objects or drawings to represent the problem.” The worksheet assesses that standard rather than a paraphrase of it.
How Many More? Stories is written for Kindergarten, typically ages 5-6. It is one of the sheets on K.OA.A.2, 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. How Many More? 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.
