STORY
PROBLEMS
What
Are
Story
Problems?
•
Story
problems
are
a
bunch
of
sentences
set
up
to
give
you
information
in
order
to
solve
a
problem.
•
Story
problems
most
often
give
you
all
the
information
needed
to
solve
the
problem.
They
may
even
include
information
you
do
not
need
at
all.
How
to
Solve
Story
Problems:
•
Many
times
story
problems
will
give
you
clues
to
help
you
decide
what
type
of
operation
you
need
to
solve
the
problem.
Words
like
more,
all
together,
left,
total,
and
fewer
are
some
examples
of
these
clues.
•
Be
sure
to
read
the
story
problem
carefully.
Sometimes
the
problem
may
say
‘more
than’
in
it,
but
you
need
to
subtract
instead
of
add.
For
example:
Tabitha
wants
to
send
cards
to
all
of
her
friends.
She
has
30
cards
to
send
and
has
already
sent
17.
How
many
more
cards
does
Tabitha
need
to
send?
30
–
17
=
13
Tabitha
needs
to
send
13
more
cards.
In
this
example,
the
question
mentions
more,
but
you
need
to
find
the
difference.

Here
is
another
example
story
problem
using
‘more.’
Brandon
has
collected
12
baseballs.
His
friend
gives
him
5
more
baseballs
for
his
birthday.
How
many
baseballs
does
Brandon
have
now?
12
+
5
=
17
Brandon
now
has
17
baseballs.
In
this
example,
more
is
mentioned
in
the
story.
The
question
is
asking
for
a
total;
that
means
you
need
to
add.
Try
This!
Solve
the
following

problems

or
subtraction.

playing
her
trumpet

minutes
yesterday

How
many
minutes
has
Maria
practiced
all
together?
