Please read each question carefully so you understand fully what is being asked of you and the type of operation which should be used.

Each answer should show all workings and include a sentence answer. I will model how to do this in class on Monday. This task should be completed and returned to school by Friday.

Work It Out!

Worded Problems 

1. There are 427 children at Bishopton Primary School. 214 of them are girls. How many are boys?

3. Finlay went to Costcutters with his pocket money. He had £5.00 to spend. If he bought a magazine for £2.65, how much money would he have left?

4. There are 24 children our class. If all of the children received a merit sticker every week, for 4 weeks, how many merit stickers would Mrs O’Neill need to hand out?
