Elsa and Sabrina ride the school bus. Elsa lives 3 miles

from school, and Sabrina lives 5 miles from school. If the bus

takes each girl directly from home to school and back

again, how many more miles does Sabrina ride the

bus each day than Elsa?

THAT’S the whole story!

Drawing pictures helps you figure out problems that don’t seem simple. In the

story of Elsa and Sabrina and the school bus, when you draw how far each girl

travels each day, it’s easy to see the difference.

Get in the habit of always showing your work, even when a problem seems easy.

That way, when problems get harder, you’ll be used to showing your work and

drawing pictures to solve them. This will make math much easier as you get older!

Sabrina

5 miles

5 miles

5+5=10

Elsa

3 miles

3 miles

3+3=6

10-6=4

Sabrina rides the bus 4 miles

more than Elsa each day.
