FAQ

How do I use the Two-Step Word Problems?

⌄

Students solve each problem in two steps and show their work. Use the pages as math center work, homework or a weekly review, and check with the answer key.

What are the Two-Step Word Problems?

⌄

Four pages after the cover in four parts. Part 1 is add and subtract, Part 2 is multiply then add or subtract, Part 3 has division and Part 4 is Challenge Problems where students check which step comes first. Each problem has a show-your-work space and an answer line, such as a library with 245 books or a baker with 6 trays of 24 cookies. The answer key covers all four parts.

Can I use the Two-Step Word Problems at home and in the classroom?

⌄

Yes. We made it for 3rd Grade to 5th Grade math activities, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.

How many 3rd Grade to 5th Grade word problems resources are there?

⌄

1 printable resource, free to preview. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

What age are word problems resources for?

⌄

These are written for 3rd Grade to 5th Grade students, roughly ages 8-11. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.

Can I use these word problems resources for homeschool?

⌄

Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a 3rd Grade to 5th Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
