Maths Word Problems

WALT: find the key info in a question

Kimberly bought stamps at the post office. Some of the stamps had a snowflake design, some had a truck design, and some had a rose design. Kimberly bought 3 snowflake stamps. She bought 5 more truck stamps than snowflake stamps, and 6 fewer rose stamps than truck stamps. How many stamps did Kimberly buy in all?

snow flakes = 3
trucks = 8
rose = 2

5 more trucks than snow flakes
6 less rose than trucks

She brought 3 snow flakes stamps and
there is 5 more truck stamps than snow flakes 5+3=8 so there are 8 truck stamps. 

She brought 8 truck stamps and there is 6 less rose stamps than trucks 8-6=2 so there are 2 rose stamps.

8+2=10+3=13

total:13

My Refection
I was learning to use word problems.
It was easy because all you had to do is read the word problem and put the words you need like she brought 3 snow flake stamps and because it said there is 5 more truck stamps than snow flake stamps. Next time i want to do and higher level word problem then this.
