these bars and fill in numbers from the problem and label the bars.<br />
One-step word problems use one operation. New at second grade are two-step word<br />
problems (2.OA.1▲) that require students to complete two operations, which may<br />
include the same operation or opposite operations.<br />
Initially two-step problems should not involve the most difficult subtypes <strong>of</strong> problems<br />
(e.g., compare and start unknown problems) and should be limited to only single-digit<br />
addends. There are many problem situation subtypes and various ways to combine<br />
such subtypes to devise two-step problems. Introducing easier problems first will<br />
provide support for second grade students who are still developing pr<strong>of</strong>iciency with the<br />
compare and start unknown problems. (Adapted from Progressions K-5 OA 2011)<br />
The following table has examples <strong>of</strong> easy and middle-difficulty two-step word problems<br />
that would be appropriate.<br />

There are 15 stickers on the<br />
page. Brittany put some more<br />
stickers on the page and now<br />
there are 22. How many stickers<br />
did Brittany put on the page?<br />
15 + __ = 22<br />
22 – 15 = __<br />
There are 9 blue marbles and 6<br />
red marbles in the bag. Maria put<br />
in 8 more marbles. How many<br />
marbles are in the bag now?<br />
9 + 6 + 8 = __ or<br />
(9 + 6) + 8 = __<br />
There are 39 peas on the plate.<br />
Carlos ate 25 peas. Mother put 7<br />
more peas on the plate. How<br />
many peas are on the plate now?<br />
39 – 25 + 7 = or<br />
(39 – 25) + 7 = __<br />
Second graders use a range <strong>of</strong> methods, <strong>of</strong>ten mastering more complex strategies such<br />
as making tens and doubles and near doubles that were introduced in grade one for<br />
problems involving single-digit addition and subtraction. Second grade students also<br />
begin to apply their understanding <strong>of</strong> place value to solve problems:<br />
The Mathematics Framework was adopted by the <strong>California</strong> State Board <strong>of</strong> <strong>Education</strong> on November 6,<br />
2013. The Mathematics Framework has not been edited for publication.
