Here are some problems you can practice subtracting with –
Peter had 55 marbles. He gave 16 marbles to his brother and 19 to his best friend. How many marbles did Peter have left?
On Monday Tom’s Bakery had 90 chocolate muffins for sale. 25 chocolate muffins were sold in the morning and 46 in the afternoon. How many chocolate muffins were left?
A truck driver needed to deliver 750 sacks of flour. He delivered 235 sacks to a shop on Smith Street and 367 sacks to a shop on Bent Avenue. How many more sacks did he need to deliver?
Here are some problems you can practice multiplying with –
Paula had 20 coins in her coin collection. Tony has 5 times as many coins as Paula. How many coins does Tony have?
A factory has 4 times as many workers as a grocery store. The grocery store has 8 workers. How many workers does the factory have?
Lisa has four CDs. Cynthia has three time as many as Lisa, and Megan has half as many as Lisa. how many CDs do Cynthia and Megan have?
Remember to check out each others math problems too. It’s fun when someone tries to solve a problem you’ve written. Leave a comment to let your friends know what you’ve been working on.
Hi 3E,
I’m Mrs. Wyman’s son. I’m 7 years old in 2nd grade in Portsmouth. I really liked solving the CD problem.
To solve the problem I counted by 4s to find out how many CDs Cynthia had.
4, 8, 12 So Cynthia has 12 CDs
It said Megan had half of the CDs Lisa had so I split that number in half. Megan has 2 CDs.
I’ll look another time and try to solve some more problems.
I’m not doing multiplication in school yet.
Bye!

Hi Tobin,
Thanks for checking out our blog. It’s nice to meet you.
That’s a great strategy you used for your math. Maybe we should use that too.
We hope you’ll check out our blog again and share more strategies with us. If you scroll down the right side of our blog you’ll find all of our learning. You should check out all of our blogs and solve the math problems there if you can. If you can’t solve it, leave a comment and we’ll write another problem for you to solve.
Thanks for going on our blog and solving the math problem. You’re always welcome.
Sincerely,
Your friends from 3E
Peters marbles 55-16=39
39-19=20
55-19-16=20 marbles
Bakers chocolate muffins 90-25=65
65-46=19
