Word Problems


Over the past week, we have learned how to solve addition and subtraction word problems. We made charts that explained the math words associated with each operation. We also learned how to mark our word problems in order to better evaluate them.

  • Create a post in which you create either an addition or a subtraction word problem.
  • Try to solve two (2) of your classmates word problems. What are the math words that you would box?

    1. Hi Nery.
      I would Circle Number 5 number 1 and both # 4.
      I would underline, how many total candies where in the bag?
      I would box the word brought,
      I would box the words how many
      I would box the word Total.
      Total amount is 14
      5 + 1 + 4 + 4 = 14

    1. Hi Ximena.Carrie needs five more dollars to buy her dress.
      I would Circle $20 $7 and $32.
      I would underline how much more money does she need.
      I would box saving,
      I would box up how much more.

    2. Hi Ximena, you created a two step word problem. Excellent! Your grammar and use of "how much more" is accurate and allows a mathematician to solve the problem.

  12. Hi Mercedes.
    I would begin by circling $155 then $60 then $200
    Then I would underline, How much more money do I need to save to buy my son's gift?
    Then I wouldn't box the word buy, cost, budget, and How much,
    The amount she needs to complete the purchase is $15.
    $155 + $60 = $215 - $15 = $200

    On November, Ricardo bought a new car that cost him the amount of $45,327 and $3862 on taxes. He pays the total price but not the tax. He owes taxes and his wife wants to buy a house, but she wants to put the quantity of $35,800 down payment. The price of this house is $554,798. She also needs to get a $500 gift card for her friend for Christmas. How much money do they need to save before this year end?
