Today we learn about a new kind of math problem. It was different than other word problems we've done. Usually word problems ask questions like:
How many in all? How many more? How many fewer?
This was a new kind of word problem.
Panda and Hoppy left 25 comments. Hoppy left 5 more comments than Panda.
How many comments did Panda leave?
How many comments did Hoppy leave?
Here is a tutorial Adia made illustrating one way to solve this type of problem.
What do you think of this process?
If you wrote an extra math problem, leave it here! Perhaps one about Lincoln and Washington?
Maybe one about you and a friend!
Maybe one about you and a friend!

Is that right, Tucker?

@ Jaden,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your thoughtful comment. That was very nice of you. Though I didn't seem nervous or scared I was a little scared and nervous. Have you ever made a blog video and you had butterflies in your stomach, like me? If you did please comment to me because I would like to know. You are a terrific commenter and I feel that you will earn your own blog someday in November.
@ Ben,
Thank you for your great comment. Well, I tried to talk loud except I did not talk as loud as I usually do. Thanks for the comment, though. I also liked the characters in the math tutorial just like you.
@ Yanely Vazquez,
Thank you for your comment. When you wrote "How much time did it take for me to do such a great question" did you mean how long did it take me to think of the problem? If you do mean that, I would like to tell you that I actually, did not come up with it. My teacher did.
@ Ryan,
Thank you for your exceptional comment. That is very nice of you to tell me that you noticed that I spoke clearly, loudly, and not too fast.
Bye,

Hi Mrs. Yollis and class! My name is Ellie and I was assigned to check out your blog for my EDM310 class at the University of South Alabama. This post about Hoppy and Panda's math problem was great! I really enjoyed the video that came along with it. Adia you did a wonderful job solving the problem and showing your work. You spoke clearly and had neat hand writing which makes it easy for your classmates to watch and understand the video! Keep working hard and learning everyday!

Dear Panda, Beverly, and Hoppy,
ReplyDeleteI am going to make a word problem for all of you! I am going to start with Panda because Panda is wise. Then Hoppy. Then Beverly.
Here is Panda's word problem:
Panda was going to leave a comment and accidently used ten exclamation marks. He knew that he used too much exclamation marks and took four away. How many exclamation marks did he leave?
Here is Hoppy's word problem:
Hoppy caught four flies. The next day he caught fourteen flies. How many flies did he catch in all?
Here is Beverley's word problem:
Beverly was sleeping and dreaming that he saw one copy machine. Ten days later, she saw ten MORE copy machines. How many copy machines did she see (in her mind) in all?
I hope you have a great time writing word problems!
Your word-problem-loving friend,
