Sweet Treats: Multi-Step Addition & Subtraction Problem Solving

Indulge your sweet tooth with this treat-themed math worksheet! For each word problem, students must determine what equations are necessary to reach their answer. The word problems are all multi-step and involve addition and subtraction using numbers within 1,000.

Tailored for fourth graders, this practice will build mathematical reasoning as learners interpret each scenario. Not only must students decide whether to add or subtract, but they must decide in which order to do each step and how to use the provided numbers. Word problems encourage students to think critically about the problem they are given, as each one is different and can’t be solved with rote memorization.
