Now we’re creating our own fraction based word problems. We have to remember to answer the question asked! #thinkacademy #6thClass — St. Peter’s Primary (@StPetersBray) February 26, 2015

If a word prob asks for the € of a coat *after* a reduction (‘What will I pay… ‘) give that figure and not the reduction! #thinkacademy
