Mission: Multi-Step! 48 Word Problem Task Cards

Task cards · Grades 3–4 · PDF, 18 pages · $4

Multistep problems are where students solve the first step and stop. These 48 task cards build the habit of asking "What do I need to find first?" Every card is color-coded by level, so you can put one level in each math station or match students to the right challenge.

Level 1 covers addition and subtraction, Level 2 multiplication and division, Level 3 measurement, perimeter, area, money and time, and Level 4 fractions plus work-backward challenge problems. A S.T.E.P.S. strategy poster, recording sheets, a reflection and write-your-own page and an answer key that shows every step are included.
