Original Prompt

I need 5 two step word problems with money for my 2nd grade students to complete with addition and subtraction. We need to keep the problems in the cents value and not going over one dollar

This resource focuses on solving two-step money problems using addition and subtraction involving cents. The educational goal is to enable students to effectively break down and solve money-related problems by first determining the outcome of an initial transaction before proceeding to the subsequent one. It begins with a structured example where Maya's transactions demonstrate the step-by-step process of subtraction and addition of monetary amounts. Students are then engaged in guided practice with a similar problem involving Leo, where they must fill in the blanks after performing the calculations. Following this, independent practice problems are provided, allowing students to apply their knowledge to various scenarios involving different amounts of money and transactions. The problems require them to show their work and demonstrate an understanding of how to compute money after spending and receiving amounts.
