The mistakes behind most wrong answers
A wrong answer in two-step word problems is rarely random. These are the ones that come up most often, each on a real problem — worth knowing before you mark a sheet, because the fix for each is different.
Kai has 15 cards, then gives away 12, and gives away 2 more. How many are left?
The answer is 1. A child who answers 3 probably answered the first half and stopped.
Mia has 3 cards, then gets 8 more, and then 1 more. How many does she have now?
The answer is 12. A child who answers 13 probably counted one too many or too few.
Noah has 17 blocks, then gets 2 more, and then 1 more. How many does he have now?
The answer is 20. A child who answers 18 probably took away instead of adding.
Lucas has 8 pencils, then gives away 1, and gives away 2 more. How many are left?
The answer is 5. A child who answers 9 probably added instead of taking away.
