Example Question #13 : Solving Problems Involving The Four Operations, And Identifying And Explaining Patterns In Arithmetic
There were families of meerkats that lived in the same burrows. Each family had
meerkats.
meerkats went out to find food, how many are left in the burrows?
To solve this problem, we first have to find our unknowns. Our unknowns are how many meerkats there are total (T) and how many meerkats are left in the burrow (L).
because there are
families of meerkats and each of them has
members of the family. Each is a keyword for multiplication so that gives us a hint.
because there are
meerkats total in the burrows and
meerkats are subtracted because they left the burrow.
There are meerkats left in the burrows.
Example Question #14 : Solving Problems Involving The Four Operations, And Identifying And Explaining Patterns In Arithmetic
Patrick got baseball trading cards for his birthday from his best friend. The next day he received
more cards from his uncle. He decided to share them equally between himself and his two brothers. How many cards will each child receive?
To solve this problem, we first have to find our unknowns. Our unknowns are how many baseball cards Patrick received in total (T) and how many cards each child will receive (C).
because he received
cards from his friend and then another
from his uncle. The cards would be added together to find the total.
÷
because there are
cards total and they are being shared equally among Patrick AND his two brothers so there are
children total. "Shared equally" is a keyword for division.
Each child will receive cards in total.
Example Question #14 : Solve Two Step Word Problems Using The Four Operations: Ccss.Math.Content.3.Oa.D.8
In Denver, it snowed 5 inches on Monday, 6 inches on Tuesday, 3 inches on Thursday, and 1 inch on Friday. On Saturday, it snowed three times as much as the rest of the week. How much did it snow on Saturday?
inches

inches
inches
inches
To solve this problem, we first have to find our unknowns. Our unknowns are how much did it snow during the weekdays (W) and how much did it snow on Saturday (S).
because we need to know how much it snowed during the weekdays in total. We must add together the amount of snow from Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.
because it snowed
times as much on Saturday as it did the rest of the week. The total snow from the weekdays will be multiplied by
to find out how much it snowed on Saturday.
On Saturday it snowed a total of inches.
