Multi-Step Word Problems

Breaking Down Complex Problems

Multi-step problems require you to use more than one operation (like addition and multiplication) to find the answer. Read each problem carefully, decide what steps to take, and solve each part in order.

Strategies for Success

  • Highlight or underline important information.
  • Write out each step one by one.
  • Check your work to make sure your answer makes sense.

Real-World Example

Solving multi-step problems helps you tackle big challenges, like planning a party budget or figuring out travel schedules.

Examples

  • You buy 3 packs of markers with 6 markers each, then give 4 away. How many markers do you have left?

  • A baker makes 5 trays of cookies with 12 cookies each, then splits them among 4 friends. How many cookies does each friend get?
