This learning resource focuses on helping students master multi-step word problems involving addition and subtraction of whole numbers up to 100. The document outlines a structured approach to solving these problems through various examples and guided practices. It begins with a worked example called 'The Cookie Problem,' demonstrating how to represent a multi-step scenario with equations. Following this, the resource includes opportunities for guided practice, where students solve similar problems independently. The progression from visual models, such as bar models, to numerical equations is emphasized to aid comprehension. The final sections include independent practice, error analysis, and reflection, allowing students to assess their understanding and articulate their learning process. Overall, the document provides comprehensive strategies for students to effectively tackle multi-step word problems in mathematics.
