Georgia’s second grade math standard: Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction within 100.

Word problem:

Sara has 45 stickers in her collection. Her friend, John, gives her 23 more stickers. How many stickers does Sara have now?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we need to add the number of stickers Sara already has with the number of stickers John gave her.

Sara has 45 stickers. John gives her 23 more stickers.

To find the total number of stickers Sara has now, we add 45 and 23.

45 + 23 = 68

Word problem:

Sara has a collection of stickers. She starts with 45 stickers. Over the course of a week, she receives 23 more stickers from her friend John. However, during the same week, she decides to give away 15 stickers to her cousin. How many stickers does Sara have now?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we need to perform both addition and subtraction operations.

Sara starts with 45 stickers. John gives her 23 more stickers. Sara gives away 15 stickers to her cousin.

To find the total number of stickers Sara has now, we need to add the stickers she received from John and subtract the stickers she gave away.

45 + 23 = 68 (Sara’s stickers after receiving from John) 68 - 15 = 53 (Sara’s stickers after giving away to her cousin)

Therefore, Sara now has 53 stickers in her collection.
