Description

This set of 20 multi step word problems for all operations reflects important math standards for grades 3 and 4. Problem-solving is such a critical part of math instruction, and engaging two step word problems are hard to find! With this resource, story problems are included in FOUR formats for ultimate teacher flexibility:

Each of these all operations word problems can be used...

  • with five copies of each word problem on a page to be cut out and glued into a math journal or math notebook

  • with four different problems on reproducible pages to use as practice sheets, math homework, math assessment, or cooperative problem solving

  • on full sheet pages that give work space for one problem, a place for students to write matching equations, and a lined area for students to write a math explanation—an important part of math standards and the Standards for Mathematical Practice.

  • and full digital access!

Answers are included, as are three rubrics to use to help in scoring the Standards for Mathematical Practice!

The 20 problems included require students to use all four operations to solve two step word problems. These problems are geared for students in grades 3 and 4 and stress problem-solving and critical thinking.

Why did I write these?

Over the years I have noticed that students tend to look for routine in math class. If it’s a division unit, they will divide any two numbers they find! If it’s a subtraction unit, they try to regroup everything!

For that reason, I try hard to sprinkle in a variety of problems all year that require students to think and apply what they have learned—perhaps draw a picture or make a table to help . . . but, most importantly, to THINK about math. I hope you find these useful!

I hope you find uses for all three versions of the problems…perhaps using a page or two from each as you see fit. You can use this to teach a mini unit on multi-step problems or simply use them throughout the year to improve problem solving!

These were helpful to my students, but probably shouldn't be used with kids who struggle at all.

Questions & Answers

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Use the four operations to solve word problems involving distances, intervals of time, liquid volumes, masses of objects, and money, including problems involving simple fractions or decimals, and problems that require expressing measurements given in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Represent measurement quantities using diagrams such as number line diagrams that feature a measurement scale.
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.
