Solve two-step word problems using addition, subtraction, and multiplication, representing problems using equations with a symbol for the unknown number.

New York State Next Generation Learning Standards: 3.OA.8

Solve two-step word problems posed with whole numbers and having whole-number answers using the four operations.
  1. Represent these problems using equations or expressions with a letter standing for the unknown quantity.
  2. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding.
Note: Two-step problems need not be represented by a single expression or equation.

Ohio's Learning Standards: 3.OA.8

Solve two-step word problems using the four operations. Represent these problems using equations with a letter or a symbol, which stands for the unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding. This standard is limited to problems posed with whole numbers and having whole number answers. Students may use parentheses for clarification since algebraic order of operations is not expected.

Tennessee Academic Standards: 3.OA.D.8

Solve two-step contextual problems using the four operations. Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding (See Table 1 - Addition and Subtraction Situations and Table 2 - Multiplication and Division Situations).

Wisconsin Academic Standards: 3.OA.D.7

Solve two-step word problems, posed with whole numbers and having whole number answers, using the four operations. Represent these problems using one or two equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity. If one equation is used, grouping symbols (i.e. parentheses) may be needed. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies.
