1) I love the holiday season. I am going to give 32 cans to the poor. Then I will give my allowance, which is $3 a week, to the needy. I will do this for 3 weeks. How much money will I give?




2) Oh, what should I do? My Mom is so busy she barely stops to tie her shoe! She shops for 3 hours, bakes for 2 more, then she cleans for 1 hour. If she starts at 9:00 a.m., will she finish in time to pick me up at 2:00? (If not, how late will she be?)




3) The mall is so crowded I have a HEADACHE! A lady hit me with her shopping cart and gave me a bruise. Then I fell on the stairs and got 2 more. My brother hit me when I stole his cookie and gave me 1 black and blue. When I finally get home to rest, how many spots will be bruised?




4) I love to wrap presents. I have 36. I will wrap 10 on Monday and 4 on Tuesday. Then how many will I have left?
