The problem
36 stickers plus 3 packs of 3: add the 3 and the 3?
A two-step problem hides a first question. Children grab the numbers they see and perform one operation, usually adding everything.
Adding every number
36 + 3 + 3 = 42. The story has 3 packs of 3, which is 9 stickers, so the total is 45.
Doing only the first step
A child finds that 3 packs of 3 is 9 and writes 9 as the answer, forgetting the 36 they started with.
Choosing the wrong operation
Words like 'buys' suggest adding, but 'packs of' signals multiplying first. Children read the numbers and skip the words.
Each problem has a hidden first step, such as finding the total in packs, and then a second step. Children name the first step before solving and check the answer against the story.

Problem-solving practice

Questions
Before you buy.
Are these multiplication problems?
Each problem uses a pack or group, so multiplication is part of the first step.
Is there a digital deck?
Yes. A Google Slides deck lets you read and solve each story on screen.
How do I get the file?
The download link appears right after checkout and lands in your inbox at the same time. One PDF with 11 pages. No account needed.
Can I print it more than once?
Yes. One teacher or one household can print unlimited copies for their own students, this year and next.
Will it print in color?
The pages are designed to print in black and white, so they print clean on any home or school printer and do not eat a cartridge.
