Ancient Word Problems

For one of our projects this week we created and solved word problems based on what we were studying for the week- Christ calming the storm and in the synagogue at Nazareth.

Katie's problem:

There was 11 clouds over the Sea of Galilee. Two more clouds came to make a storm. Draw a picture and write a number sentence to solve.

Samuel's problem:

There was 10 ships on the Sea of Galilee with one person on each ship. How many people are sailing on the Sea of Galilee?

Jacob's problem:

There was 15 people sailing on a boat on the Sea of Galilee. Four of them drowned in the storm. How many are left?


They drew pictures, wrote the number sentence, and solved each problem. I loved the pictures as much as the problems.
