Students solve two-step problems with larger numbers and then match expressions to final answers. Part A has nine fill-in-the-blank problems about chairs needed, trading cards given away, and juice boxes distributed on shelves. Part B is a matching activity linking four expressions involving multiplication, subtraction, and division to correct totals.
Working with larger numbers reinforces place-value skills alongside multi-step reasoning.
