Today we used addition to answer our number stories.
1.  Sione and Desiree went to the shops.  They bought one packet of chips for $1.00, a packet of lollies for $2.00, a packet of marties for $3.00 and a bottle of mild for $4.00. How much did Sione and Desiree spend at the shops?


We said that we needed to add up all of the numbers in our number story to answer the question.

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 3 +7
                     = 10

2.  Chester and Angelina went to the shops.  They bought one large packet of chips for  $10.00, one large box of chocolates for $30.00 and a super large box of smarties for $50.00.  How much did Chester and Angelina spend at the shops?


We said that we needed to add up all of the numbers in our number story to answer the question.

10 + 30 + 50 = 40 + 50
                     = 90
