Students tackle more two-step word problems mixing multiplication with addition and subtraction. Part A corrects errors in three problems about books on shelves, flowers in vases, and daily earnings. Part B has four fill-in-the-blank problems involving flowers remaining after picking, plates on tables, and points lost in sequence. Part C has three true-or-false problems testing totals for oranges, team-forming, and eggs collected.
Varied contexts help students practice reading each problem carefully before choosing operations.
