Solution

I see you've uploaded an image with word problems involving addition and subtraction. Let me solve each one step by step for you:


1. Sunland Primary School students

  • Total students: 1,129
  • Number of girls: 679
  • Operation: Subtract (1,129 - 679) 1,129679=4501,129 - 679 = 450 Answer: 450 boys

Would you like me to elaborate further or create a formatted report? Here are five follow-up questions to explore:

  1. How can you identify whether to add or subtract in word problems?
  2. Can similar methods apply to more complex multi-step problems?
  3. How does estimation help in verifying these calculations?
  4. What strategies can help younger students break down word problems effectively?
  5. Can real-life examples of addition and subtraction enhance problem-solving skills?

Tip: Always underline the key numbers and keywords (like “increase,” “remaining,” or “total”) in word problems for better clarity.
