Four-Step Word Problems

This worksheet presents real-world word problems that must be translated into four-step expressions. Each scenario requires students to identify operations in the correct order and compute results using PEMDAS. Students interpret multi-part situations-such as pricing, grouping, combining, or adjusting quantities-before creating an expression. This activity builds strong modeling skills, boosts comprehension, and reinforces real-life application of multi-step operational reasoning.
