Two-step word problems are math problems that require two operations (like addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division) to find the answer. Think of it like solving a puzzle with two steps! First, you solve one part of the problem, and then you use that answer to solve the second part. They help build critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
