About this worksheet
Eight Year 5 subtraction word problems in three parts over five pages, with a full answer page. Part 1 has one-step questions: the gap between two stadium crowds, the distance left on a drive from Bristol to Bath, and a book total found by working backwards. Part 2 has two-step problems, such as the money still needed for an otter sanctuary. Part 3 ends with a freight train unloading timber at three stations and a claim to test. Each problem has an estimate box, working space and an answer line.
