Lesson 27

Solving Two-Step
Problems involving
Addition and Subtraction
Objective

Solve two-step problems

involving addition and
subtraction of whole numbers
including money
Drill

Use the flash cards of addition and

subtraction facts for the drill.
There were 234 Grade 1 and 357 Grade 2
pupils in a school.

• How many pupils were there in all?

• How many more Grade 2 pupils are there
than Grade 1 pupils?
What are asked for in the problem?

How will you solve the problem?

What are the possible ways of solving

the problem?
Motivation

Have pupils form a three-part puzzle such as the

one below.

Provide them colored cut-outs to be pasted on

hard paper.

Commend pupils who formed the puzzle first.

What do you want to know about this
picture?
Use the parts of the puzzle in presenting the lesson.

How many stars are there in each part of the puzzle?

How many stars are there in the whole puzzle?

Use 2 or 3 parts of the puzzle each time you present a
problem situation such as:
If you put all the stars altogether then take
away 10 stars, how many stars would be
left?

What will you do to solve this problem?

What steps are you going to use?

 Let’s study the steps.

Here’s another problem.

If you put together the black stars and white stars,

and then
take away 3 stars, how many stars would be left?
How will you illustrate/show your answer using
this block?

What did you do?

Guide the pupils to find the answer using traditional
counting. (Let pupils count each group of stars as
represented by the blocks.)

How many (stars) blocks are there in all?

Go back to the problem and ask pupils how

many stars are to be taken away.
From the last blocks let us count backwards to
three. Now, count how many blocks are left.

Guide them to illustrate the problem in symbols as

(5 + 6) – 3 = 8.

Math 3
Take another part of the puzzle.

Give this problem.

How will you illustrate/show your answer
using this number line?

Math 3
Find the answer using traditional counting.

The problem can be solved using a number

sentence.

Guide them to illustrate the problem in symbols

as
( 8 + 5 ) – 4 = 9.
Math 3
Prepare number blocks to be used in this
activity.
Use the numbers in the number blocks and
answer the questions given. Below are
examples of the six faces of dice.

Math 3
 A B

8 9 7 8 3 6

2 6 5 4 5 1

Math 3
If you roll the number block twice in A and in B, what
will happen? If in A, you got 7 and 6, what is the sum?
If in B, you got 8 and 9, what is the sum? If you
subtract the smaller sum from the bigger sum, what
could be the answer?

Math 3
 Give another problem.

Jose and Nilo went to the seashore to gather shells for

their science project. Jose was able to gather 231
seashells while Nilo has 187 seashells. They put
together their seashells and gave 115 seashells to
Helena. How many seashells were left?

Math 3
Emphasize the use of grouping symbols, in
writing a number sentence in 2-step word
problems.

Tell pupils that the hidden question is

represented in symbols, such as
the grouping symbols.

Math 3
Using the puzzle parts, ask volunteers to make
their own story problems and find the answer
using the two methods learned.
Gawain 1

Lutasin ang suliranin sa bawat bilang.

1) Bumili si Maria ng dalwang dosenang itlog.

Kung ang 15 sa mga ito ay ginagamit niya sa
pagluluto ng cake, ilan pa kaya ang hindi niya
nagamit o natira?
2) Mahilig maglaro si John ng holen. Ang bilang ng
kaniyang kulay dilaw na holen ay 224 at 216
naman ang kulay pula. Kung ang 325 holen ay nasa
loob ng kahon na gamit niya sa pag lalaro, ilang
holen ang nasa labas na hindi niya nagamit?
3) Masinop at matipid na ina si Gng. Zafra. Sa
unang buwan ng kaniyang trabaho, nakaipon siya
ng halagang Php3,400.Noong nakaraang buwan
naman ay nakapag-impok siya ng Php2,900.Kung
ang kanyang anak ay mangangailangan ng
Php1,800 para sa gastusin sa pag-aaral, magkano
kaya ang matitira sa kaniyang naipon na pera?
4) Gamit ang digit na 1,2,3 at 4, bumuo ng two digit
number na may pinakamalaki at pinakamaliit na
value na walang bilang na uulitin.

a) Kunin ang kabuuan (sum) ng dalawang

nalikhang bilang?

b) Ibigay and difference ng malaking bilang sa

maliit na bilang na nabuo?
 Tamang Sagot

1) (12 + 12) – 15 = N;
3) (PhP3 400 + PhP2 900) – PhP1 800 = N;
12 + 12 = 24; 24 – 15 = 9 eggs
PhP6 300 – PhP1 800 = PhP4 500
2) (224 + 216) – 325 =N;
4) 43 +440
12 –= 325

para sa mga sangkap, magkano kaya ang perang
natira sa kanya?

Math 3
3) Si Carlo ay kumita sa kaniyang repair shop ng
php 1,500 noong nakaraang buwan at Php 900 para
sa kasalukuyang buwan. Bumili siya ng kagamitan
para sa sasakyan niya na nagkakahalaga ng php 900
at martilyo na may halaga na Php 295. Magkano
kaya ang natira sa kaniyang kinita sa loob ng
dalawang buwan niyang pagtratrabaho?

Math 3
 Tamang Sagot

1) (673 + 75) – 569= 179

2) (PhP1 457 + PhP985) – PhP895 = PhP1 547

3) (PhP1 500 + PhP900) – (PhP950 + PhP295) =N

PhP2 400 – PhP1 245 = PhP1 155
 Summarizing
the Lesson

How do we solve two-step word problems involving

addition and subtraction of whole numbers?

In solving two-step word problems involving addition

and subtraction, the following steps are to be followed:
1) Read, understand, plan, and solve the problem then
review/check your answer (Polya’s method).

2) Use other ways or strategies in answering the problem

such as the block model and number line.
Write an appropriate number sentence for the problem
then solve.

gulaman for PhP5.00. If she was given PhP20.00
allowance that day, how much money did she still have?
 Gawain 3

suliranin (word problem) sagutin ang mga
tanong sa bawat bilang.

125 para sa kaniyang proyekto at Php 36 para
sa kaniyang transportasyon. Kung ang pera
niya sa kaniyang pitaka ay Php 100, magkano
pa kaya ang kailangan niya?

Math 3
2) Sa proyektong isasakutaparan ni Gary,
mayroon siyang 62 pulang popsicle sitkcs at 37

3) Bibili sina Dino ng bagong TV set na may
halagang Php 5,500 at oven na nagkakahalaga
ng Php 2,500. kung may pera sila na Php 6,500,
magkano pa ang kailangan nila para mabili
ang mga ito?

Math 3
Tamang Sagot

1) (PhP125.00 + PhP36.00) – PhP100.00 = PhP61.00

2) (62 + 37) – 45 = 54

3) (PhP5 500.00 + PhP2 500.00) – PhP6 500.00 = PhP1
