Just wondering if teachers on here could advise what year you would expect children generally to be able to do maths word problems like the following please?
Please show your full working out for each question:
- 79 spectators went to a football match. That is 21 fewer people than last week. How many spectators were there last week? and
- One length of a swimming pool is 25m. Luke has swum three lengths so far. He is trying to swim 125m. How many more lengths does he need to swim?
Many thanks.
