Four-Step Word Problems

This worksheet features real-world scenarios requiring translation into four-step mathematical expressions. Students identify quantities, operations, and sequencing to form expressions that reflect multi-step processes such as grouping, distributing, removing items, combining totals, applying discounts, or analyzing team scores. Learners must then apply PEMDAS to compute accurate solutions. These problems help students strengthen modeling skills, deepen conceptual understanding, and apply numerical reasoning in authentic contexts.
