Students complete two-step calculations and match problems to their answers. Part A has nine fill-in-the-blank problems covering cars received, points scored and penalized, and cookies packed equally into bags. Part B is a matching activity connecting four two-step problem descriptions — such as 3 bags of 8 apples then eating 4 — to their correct final answers.
The matching format encourages students to verify their calculated answer against the given options.
