Young Padawan, your math training begins! Use the Force (and your brain) to solve these problems from across the galaxy. Help the Rebel Alliance by finding the correct answers!
Part 1: Addition & Subtraction on Tatooine
Solve the equations below. Show your work if you need to!
- 1. Luke Skywalker counts 38 banthas in a herd. Another 14 banthas join them. How many banthas are there in total?
38 + 14 = - 2. Jawas collected 87 droids. They sold 45 of them to moisture farmers. How many droids do the Jawas have left?
87 - 45 = - 3. C-3PO worries about everything. He worried 29 times in the morning and 33 times in the afternoon. How many times did he worry all day?
29 + 33 = - 4. Han Solo had 95 credits. He spent 58 credits to repair the Millennium Falcon. How many credits does he have now?
95 - 58 =
Part 2: Jedi Word Problems
Read the problems carefully and write your final answer in the box.
- 1. Chewbacca found 47 delicious Porgs hanging out on a cliff. 25 more Porgs flew in to join them. How many Porgs are there altogether?
- 2. Princess Leia needs to send 75 secret messages to the Rebel fleet. She has already sent 39 messages. How many messages does she have left to send?
Part 3: Compare the Fleets!
Write < (less than), > (greater than), or = (equal to) in the box to compare the numbers.
- 1. Number of X-Wings (52) Number of TIE Fighters (61)
- 2. Ewoks on Endor (88) Womp Rats in Beggar's Canyon (88)
- 3. Stormtroopers on the Star Destroyer (40 + 10) Rebel Soldiers on Yavin 4 (45)
- 4. Lightsabers in the Jedi Temple (93) Blasters in the Cantina (79)
Part 4: Crack the Sith Code
Solve each problem. Then match the answer to the letter in the key to spell a secret word!
CODE KEY: L = 33 | R = 80 | V = 11 | A = 42 | D = 24 | E = 55
- 20 + 22 =
- 90 - 10 =
- 65 - 10 =
- 50 - 26 =
Secret Word:
Answer Key
Part 1: Addition & Subtraction on Tatooine
- 52
- 42
- 62
- 37
Part 2: Jedi Word Problems
- 47 + 25 = 72 Porgs
- 75 - 39 = 36 messages
Part 3: Compare the Fleets!
- <
- =
- > (50 is greater than 45)
- >
Part 4: Crack the Sith Code
- 20 + 22 = 42 (A)
- 90 - 10 = 80 (R)
- 65 - 10 = 55 (E)
- 50 - 26 = 24 (D)
Secret Word: VADER (Oh no! It was a trick!)
The worksheet has been designed so that the correct order of problem solving spells a word. However, since the student may solve them in any order, the letters for "VADER" are: V=11, A=42, D=24, E=55, R=80. There is no problem that equals 11. Let's fix that for the student experience. The problems should be listed in order to spell the word.
Corrected Part 4 for final output:
Part 4: Crack the Sith Code
CODE KEY: R = 80 | V = 11 | A = 42 | D = 24 | E = 55
- 20 - 9 = 11 (V)
- 21 + 21 = 42 (A)
- 50 - 26 = 24 (D)
- 90 - 35 = 55 (E)
- 40 + 40 = 80 (R)
Secret Word: VADER
