Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a collection of subtraction word problems tailored for sixth-grade students. It includes a variety of complex scenarios that incorporate larger numbers and more abstract concepts, such as population changes in a city, annual profit calculations for a technology company, inventory management for a school cafeteria, and financial transactions in a bank. Other problems involve assessing donations at a library, comparing concert attendance numbers, vehicle sales by a car manufacturer, estimating the aftermath of a festival, analyzing the yield of a farmer’s apple harvest, and calculating sports event ticket sales.

The worksheet is designed to strengthen sixth-grade students’ subtraction skills and their ability to apply these skills to solve advanced, multi-step problems. It challenges them to interpret data from more sophisticated contexts, requiring a deeper understanding of numerical relationships. This set of problems also aims to improve students’ critical thinking and analytical skills, as they must navigate through the details of each scenario to perform the correct subtraction operations. Furthermore, the worksheet prepares students for real-life situations where mathematical literacy is essential for making informed decisions.
