'Total number of items' for 3rd grade
3rd grade / Addition / Word problems / Total number of items
How many items in total
When you have lots of similar things you might want to know how many of those things you have in total.
That is the idea behind this topic - say you have 56 red marbles, 22 blue marbles but only 9 yellow marbles. How many marbles do you have in total? Easy right? Add up the numbers of different types of marbles to get the toal number.
56 + 22 + 9 = 87 marbles
So, this topic gives you different scenarios where a person wants to know the total number of items they have and you have to work out the answer.

Sometimes in math the problems are not given as numbers but as words and sentences. This doesn't mean that the math you have to do is different, but it does mean you have to work out first what the sum you are being asked to do is, and then work on the sum itself. In this set of topics, the questions are to do with adding up either the total number of items or the total cost of a set of 2 or 3 items.
When we want to understand math addition word problems, we need to read carefully through the text and create the sum that takes the number information out of the text and puts it in a sum. When we read the text "Logan has 30 Rich tea biscuits and 17 Digestives" we can see that the sum involves finding how many biscuits Logan has in total which we find by adding up the number of Rich tea biscuits and digestive biscuits. So the total number of biscuits is 30 + 17 which is 47.
When the sentences we are looking at involve money our addition sum will involve adding amounts of money rather than numbers of items. Given the text "Grace buys 3 pencils for 54¢, 64¢ and 75¢." we realise that we need to add the 3 amounts to come to the total that Grace has spent on pencils. Because that total is greater than 100¢, the answer will be in both dollars and cents. Can you work out what that amount will be? Try the topic "Total cost of 3 items" to check your answer.
