One-step contexts
These sheets use short situations that map to a single operation: combining or separating quantities, equal groups (multiplication), or partitioning a total equally (division). Numbers stay in a range that works well for upper elementary practice without a calculator.
How to use the space
Each problem has three light lines for models, sketches, or written steps, then a dedicated answer line. Encourage labeling units in the final answer when the story names a concrete object.
