Previously Published Data 

1.) Students represent problems like the following with  
manipulatives and numbers and symbols: 

  • Tom was running home with ten marbles in his pocket. Two marbles fell out; but he picked up three more along the road. He lost four marbles and found one more. How many marbles made it home with Tom?
  • Nora collects toy bears. She had four when her grandmother gave her one more. Nora gave two bears to her best friend. She had a birthday party and got three bears as gifts. How many toy bears does she have now?
  • Michael earned allowance money for chores but had to pay money back when he had to be reminded about the chores. He emptied the garbage, earning $0.25 and made both his bed and his little brother's bed for $0.10 each. He had to be reminded to clear the table, losing $0.15. He swept the front walk for $0.50, but he left the bath towel on the floor losing $0.10. If he had $1.75 when he began his chores, what does he have now?  

  • Previously Published Data 

    1.) Students will use manipulatives as well as record each step of the following story problem: 

  • Clara was the bank courier. Her job was to collect and deliver the mail. She picked up some letters that her boss wanted delivered. As she left her office, Jane handed her five more letters. She left two letters on Jose's desk and picked up one more. After visiting a few more offices, she doubled the mail in her pack. She left eight letters on Dan's desk. The rest she took to the Post Office. If her boss had given Clara three letters at the beginning of her route, how many letters did she take to the Post Office? 
  • Jake recycled soda bottles to earn money. He had his wagon almost filled with bottles when he found three more. As he walked along, the wagon hit a bump and two bottles broke. Mr. Scott gave him five bottles, and Jake's friend Franz borrowed five for a science experiment. If Jake started out with twenty six bottles in his wagon, how many does he have now?
