“Hoy resolvimos distintos problemas-historia sobre tomates de una huerta” // “Today we solved many different story problems about tomatoes in a garden.”
Read the story problems from the first activity and display examples of student work for each story problem.
- Mai grew 7 tomatoes.
She picked 5.
How many tomatoes are in the garden?
- Mai grew 9 tomatoes.
Some were yellow.
The rest were red.

“¿Por qué todos obtuvimos la misma respuesta en el primer problema-historia? ¿Por qué obtuvimos respuestas diferentes en el segundo problema-historia?” // “Why did we all get the same answer to the first story problem? Why did we get different answers for the second story problem?” (In the first story problem, we know she had 7 tomatoes and picked 5 of them, so the answer is 2. In the second story problem, there are different answers because some of the tomatoes are red and some are yellow.)
