 Framing Word Problems
For a given subtraction fact, we frame word problems in the same manner as we do
for an addition fact.
Example 13: Frame 3 word problems for 35 - 15 =?
Solution: Word problems for this fact can be as follows:
1. Rahul has 35 chocolates. He gives 15 chocolates to his friends. How
many is he left with?
2. In a class, there are 35 students. On a certain day, 15 students of the
class were absent. How many students were present that day?
3. Christopher invited 35 friends to his birthday party. 15 of them were
girls. How many boys did he invite?
