Grade 2: Multi-Step Mixed Challenges
These original challenges combine several skills in one story. Record intermediate results, include units, draw a model or route when useful, and check the final result. Teachers can reveal answers using the existing hidden-answer controls.
Lunch packing
A class packs 4 trays with 5 rolls per tray. Three rolls are eaten. A helper brings 7 more rolls. Pack the rolls now available equally into 6 bags.
