About this resource
Description
Word problems ask students to read a real situation, choose the right operations, and solve in more than one step. This solving word problems worksheet gives 4th graders steady practice with multistep problems that mix addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, along with money, elapsed time, and pounds-to-ounces conversions.
Students read four short story problems and solve each one in two steps. A strategy box at the top reminds them to find the answer to the first step and then use it to finish the second step. Each problem has its own work box, so children can write the number sentences that show their thinking. Use this 4th grade word problems worksheet for independent practice, a math center, homework, or a quick review before a test.
What’s Included
- One page with four two-step mixed word problems
- A two-step strategy reminder box
- A work box under every problem for showing work
- An answer key with both steps written out for each problem
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
First, it builds the habit of reading a whole problem before choosing an operation, which is the skill most children skip. Second, every item needs two different steps, so students practice carrying one answer into the next calculation. Third, the problems use everyday topics like saving money, homework time, pizza slices, and buying fruit, so the math feels useful and easy to picture.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Have students underline the question and circle the numbers they need before they start. Ask them to explain which operation they used in each step and why. After they finish, invite children to write their own two-step word problem for a partner to solve. You can pair this solving word problems worksheet with a mixed review lesson or use it as an exit ticket.
