A farm word problem might say, 'A farmer has 250 chickens and sells 85. How many chickens are left?' We subtract: 250-85=165.

Another problem might involve totals, like 'A farmer has 3 fields producing 120 kg, 150 kg, and 95 kg of wheat. What is the total yield?' We add: 120+150+95=365 kg.
Quick revision
Remember these!
- Farm problems can use subtraction for remaining animals or produce.
- 250 - 85 = 165 chickens left.
- Farm problems can use addition for total yield.
- 120+150+95=365 kg total wheat yield.
- Farm problems can use multiplication for totals from groups.
- 45 hens x 5 eggs = 225 eggs.
- These problems connect maths to agriculture.
- Careful reading identifies the correct operation.
