"When will we ever use this?"
Have you ever heard that? Do you feel like your students don't believe math is a part of the real world? Show them that math is required in the real world!
Use at the beginning of the year to get students interested! Use after tests for students who finish early. Or have as extra credit.
This set includes 3 pages of word problems (total of 10 questions, some require multiple operations, some are just 1). Answer sheets are included.
These worksheets were designed to show actual real world situations where math is required. All were taken from the authors real life. Difficulty varies. Scoring can be null if you wish to use it as a beginning of year example of why math is important in the real world. Suggested scoring is included.

Used in my consumer math class as a warm up for real world math examples.
Demonstrates the reason why students need math. Great practice.

Standards
to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
CCSS7.G.B.6
Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving area, volume and surface area of two- and three-dimensional objects composed of triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, cubes, and right prisms.
CCSS6.EE.B.7
Solve real-world and mathematical problems by writing and solving equations of the form 𝘹 + 𝘱 = 𝘲 and 𝘱𝘹 = 𝘲 for cases in which 𝘱, 𝘲 and 𝘹 are all nonnegative rational numbers.
CCSS7.EE.B.3
Solve multi-step real-life and mathematical problems posed with positive and negative rational numbers in any form (whole numbers, fractions, and decimals), using tools strategically. Apply properties of operations to calculate with numbers in any form; convert between forms as appropriate; and assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies. For example: If a woman making $25 an hour gets a 10% raise, she will make an additional 1/10 of her salary an hour, or $2.50, for a new salary of $27.50. If you want to place a towel bar 9 3/4 inches long in the center of a door that is 27 1/2 inches wide, you will need to place the bar about 9 inches from each edge; this estimate can be used as a check on the exact computation.
