Two Step Multi Step Addition & Subtraction Word Problems Math Task Cards

Teaching students how to solve multi-step word problems can be a real challenge. These task cards provide a unique approach to solving two-step addition and subtraction problems. They help students visualize what is happening in each problem and then represent it with an equation.

There are 10 sets of cards. Each set includes:

• Word problem card with one multi-step problem
• Picture card that represents the problem with a visual model
• Equation card that represents the problem mathematically
• Answer card

✅ HOW TO USE THIS RESOURCE

Math Center Activity

Students read each multi-step word problem and match it with the corresponding picture model, equation, and answer cards. Each card has a letter so that when answers are recorded correctly on the recording sheet, each set will spell out a different word.

Guided Math Activity

These cards work well as visual supports when teaching students how to solve two-step math problems. Color coded text helps students connect the words in the problem to each step in the model and equation.

Independent Practice or Assessment

Just the word problem cards can be used for independent practice or formative assessment purposes. Students can use the included worksheet to demonstrate how to solve the problem and explain their thinking.
