OK, I know that the story problems are giving us fits. But here's the thing. Life is all about story problems. We don't speak in lists. We don't tell about events in lists, or tables, or related facts. We tell stories. All the time. It's just that in Math, nobody questions when there are 178 leaves in a pile...because, well, it's a math story problem! So this week, it's about using a strategy called add-add-subtract. Really, I did not just make that up. Well, maybe I did. But we really do have to add-add- subtract. Just be glad it's not 'round-add-add-subtract'. Because that can happen. Maybe with turkeys. Back to the homework. Stuck? Check out the video! Still stuck? |
