About this worksheet
Suits Years 5 and 6The full-course meal: stories needing several steps drawn from all four operations, in an order the story dictates.
These reward slow reading and a plan. Underline the numbers, note what each one is, write the steps as a list, then compute. Children who race these lose to children who plan them.

Common questions
How long should one of these take?
Minutes, not moments, and that is the point. Two done carefully teach more than eight done frantically. Quality of working is the goal to praise.
What if my child gets a different but reasonable answer?
Follow their working line by line; multi-step stories occasionally allow a different valid reading. The working, not just the final number, is where the learning shows.
