In our school, we often encounter various challenges, from understanding math problems to managing resources effectively. Mathematicians use specific strategies to tackle these everyday dilemmas, and we can apply those same thinking patterns in the classroom. This guide explores the common problems we face, such as resource allocation, like Mrs. Rickman’s flour dilemma for pie-making, and Mrs. Mangrum's gumball distribution task. By utilizing part-whole strategies and subtraction methods, we can find solutions to enhance our problem-solving skills.

1.Mrs. Rickman is making an apple pie for dessert. The recipe for the pie calls for 275 ml of flour. She has exactly 700 ml of flour in her jar. If she uses 275 ml for the pie, how much flour will Mrs. Rickamn have left to make another yummy dessert?
I subtracted 700 from 275 to know how much flour she has left, then I subtracted the total from 275 and Yes, she has enough to make one more yummy pie How much flour will Mrs. Rickman have left to make another yummy dessert? U C Mrs. Rickman is making an apple pie for dessert. The recipe for the pie calls for 275 ml of flour. She has exactly 700 ml of flour in her jar.
