This hard worksheet challenges second graders with multi-step word problems. Part A offers four multiple-choice questions involving buses, marbles, and stickers, where kids must perform two operations to reach the answer. Part B presents five fill-in-the-blank stories that combine adding and subtracting within 100, like buying stamps then giving some away. A rigorous workout in careful reading, planning, and tracking each step toward the correct final answer.
