Do it Your Way!

With math problems, it doesn’t matter how you get your answer! What matters is that you use a strategy that is comfortable for you, and that your answer makes sense! We recently worked on a word problem from Mr. Naussbaum’s Math Site.

Here was the problem we solved: Eduardo ordered four large pizzas and three medium pizzas from Tony Fraction’s Pizza Shop. A large pizza has two more slices than a medium. A medium pizza has eight slices. How many total slices did Eduardo order?

Check out all the different ways we got the answer below!
