Word Value Math Worksheet (How Much Is Your Word Worth?)

Math meets spelling for Grades 1–5: every letter has a value from the key at the top, and children add up the letters of each word. Paste this week’s spelling list or use a built-in grade list, choose A=1, coins, dollars or mystery points, and add questions comparing the totals.

Coins (5¢ and 10¢) suit Grade 1–2; A=1 and dollars give Grade 2–3 bigger sums; mystery points change with every new sheet, so the key has to be read every time.
