Today in Maths we tried to create our own word problems for other children to solve. The children thought of key words that would help them identify what operation to use and then put them into interesting word problems. Some examples are below, can you work out the answers and leave us a comment? Good luck!
1.) Gwyn Thomas had 35 Buffalo in the game reserve and Alex Du Preez shot 12. How many did Gwyn have left?
2.) I had 1000 Shetland ponies, I went to the market and bought another 377. How many do I have now?
3.) Dan supports AFC Bournemouth, he is junior cherries player. He brings his friend Oliver to every game. He goes to a game every week in 1 month. How many times do they go to watch the match?
4.) Bob had 100 bananas and then bought 2 more. He then ate 60, how many are left?
5.) Emilia and Mia ate 20 chocolate bars each, then their 3 brothers ate 10 each and little sister ate 5. Their mum's ate 2 each, how many were eaten all together?
