Two-Step Addition and Subtraction Word Problems for Elementary Math

This worksheet turns math into a mini adventure, guiding kids through a two-step problem where they add and subtract trading cards just like a real collector. Students show their thinking in neat little boxes, making it easy to see each step (and catch any sneaky mistakes). It’s perfect for building confidence with mixed operations and helping kids explain their math out loud and on paper. Who knew losing and gaining cards could make math practice this lively?
