Maths Word Problems

Maths Word Problems


WALT: find the key info in a question.

Kimberly bought stamps at the post office. Some of the stamps had a snowflake design, some had a truck design, and some had a rose design. Kimberly bought 3 snowflake stamps. She bought 5 more truck stamps than snowflake stamps, and 6 fewer rose stamps than truck stamps. How many stamps did Kimberly buy in all ?

My Reflection:

Image result for mathsIt was easy to find the key info because I looked for the main words in the question.  It was kind of tricky to find a way for showing how I figured it out but then I got it.  The way I figured it out was I added 8+2+3=13.
