Free printable Grade 6 word problems worksheets (Ontario)
Grade 6 word problems pull in the percent and the rate that earlier grades did not use. Ontario expectation B2.1 asks students to solve multi-step problems involving fractions, ratios, rates, and percents. This printable preview still includes a plain one-step item, 156 marbles shared among 6 friends, and a missing-part item about Isla's and Omar's marbles. The Grade 6 flavour is the later stories. Four books at 20 dollars each are discounted by 25 percent, and the question is the amount paid. Dev borrows 360 dollars, adds 40 dollars for supplies, pays back 80 dollars, and then pays the rest in 40 dollar weekly instalments. Leah cycles 10 km a day for 2 days of a 60 km plan and needs a new daily distance for the next 2 days. Students have to keep the intermediate result. A single bead story with one subtraction is the Grade 3 word-problem page.

What makes a Grade 6 word problem different from Grade 3?
Grade 3 stories are mostly one operation with whole numbers or equal groups. Grade 6 adds a percent taken off a purchase, a weekly instalment, and a remaining rate. Expectation B2.1 names fractions, ratios, rates, and percents.
Is there a percent question inside the word problems?
Yes. Four books cost 20 dollars each, the shop takes 25 percent off the total, and students find the amount paid. A separate percentages worksheet isolates discount, tax, and tip.
What is the instalment question asking?
Dev borrows 360 dollars, adds 40 dollars of supplies, repays 80 dollars, and pays the remainder in 40 dollar weekly instalments. The question asks how many weeks that takes.
