2 pm: story problem:

“When the Orcas went to the farm, they counted some pumpkins in a field. Then they saw some more pumpkins in another field. How many pumpkins did they see?

“Will there be more pumpkins or less pumpkins? Will we add pumpkins or take away, add or subtract?”

“Now try it with numbers. When the Orcas went to the farm, they counted 10 pumpkins in a field. Then they saw some 5 pumpkins in another field. How many pumpkins did they see?”

Solve, use part-part-whole mats, write equations.
