Praxis 5025 Practice Question

Which of the following word problems will second-grade students be most likely to solve using addition?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Option B involves adding the number of students already on the bus (28) to those getting on (12), resulting in a total of 40 students. This scenario clearly requires addition to find the final quantity.

Option A focuses on distributing stickers equally, which involves division rather than addition.

Option C requires subtraction to determine how many uncracked eggs remain (18 - 7), not addition.

Option D also involves subtraction, as it asks for the original number of markers Chris had before receiving 12, calculated by 19 - 12.

Thus, only option B directly involves addition to solve the problem.
