framing Word Problems

We have learnt how to solve word problems based on the four basic operations, that
is, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. To identify which operation to be

used, we must be aware of the use of keywords, such as total, sum, difference, in
all, remaining, left, together, contribution, collection, etc. in the given problem. Now,
it is the time to frame word problems relating to any real-life situation.

The teacher writes four number sentences on the blackboard. She tells the class to
frame any beautiful story for each of the given facts.

Let us see what word problems the students have framed.
Number 4987 + 2140 41270 – 14568 1235 × 64 82175 ÷ 25
sentences = 7127 = 26702 = 79040 = 3287
