This resource is 2 lessons on Addition and Subtraction Multi-Step problems.

Some of the problems are 2 and 3-step, some are even more!

The answers are in the files with the resources. They can be written on the backs of the cards as a form of self-assessment.

Lesson 1 - focus on using the Steps to Success to figure out the calculations needed.
Lesson 2 - using the Steps to Success to represent the problems as Bar Models and writing their own word problems using given calculations. Also a small focus on Perimeter (this was a gap in our assessment) and answering a multi-step problem using perimeter skills.
