Multi-Step Word Problems Task Cards

Thirty-two multi-step word problems that start with two-step adding and subtracting and finish with three steps and remainders that carry the meaning — how many vans, how many full boxes. Twenty of them come with an array or a tape diagram, because the picture is what turns a wall of words into a first step.
