Students solve two-step word problems using addition, subtraction, and multiplication. Part A asks them to find and fix incorrect answers in three two-step problems, such as a packing and eating scenario with apples. Part B has four fill-in-the-blank problems involving hat sales, crayons given away, and beads used. Part C presents three true-or-false problems checking whether stated totals are correct.
This sheet builds the habit of checking whether an intermediate result or the final answer is being reported.
