Description

This freebie is part of a growing bundle--> https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Word-Problem-Task-Cards-Growing-Bundle-2320027

This product contains 12 Task Cards. All the cards are 2-step word problems involving multiplication and addition/subtraction (with the exception of 2 cards that only require addition/subtraction).

I am using these problems to introduce multi-step problem solving. I am going to be teaching one step at a time, using the same word problems. First students will identify the question and act the problems out. On Day 2 they will draw models to represent what they did to "act it out". On Day 3 they will use their models to write an equation with a variable. On Day 4 they will solve the problems. On Day 5 we will practice putting all the steps together.

A couple of my students learned a lot from this activity because they were able add and subtract different numbers and solve problems.

Fluently add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.
Multiply a whole number of up to four digits by a one-digit whole number, and multiply two two-digit numbers, using strategies based on place value and the properties of operations. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.
Interpret a multiplication equation as a comparison, e.g., interpret 35 = 5 × 7 as a statement that 35 is 5 times as many as 7 and 7 times as many as 5. Represent verbal statements of multiplicative comparisons as multiplication equations.
