Mastering Two-Step Word Problems

The video tutorial introduces two-step word problems involving all four operations. It highlights clue words that help identify which operation to use, such as 'total' for addition and 'difference' for subtraction. Two example problems are solved: one about Sandra's running goal and another about dividing pancakes. The video concludes with encouragement to continue practicing these skills.
