&lt;mdoxml version=&quot;1.0&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here are some little problems.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;
How would you put them on paper with&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;

&lt;div class=&quot;grid_2&quot;&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;mdo:image src=&quot;Zoe%20Sweets%20Pic.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;/mdo:image&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;grid_2&quot;&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Zoe had these three sweets.  Her friend Rajneet gave her&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;two more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;How many has Zoe got now?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;grid_2&quot;&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Karala had 8 dolls.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;She gave 3 of them to her little sister.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;How many dolls has Karala now,  that she&amp;#39;s  given those&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;to her sister?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;grid_2&quot;&gt;&lt;mdo:image src=&quot;PIc%20of%208%20Dolls.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;/mdo:image&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;grid_2&quot;&gt;&lt;mdo:image src=&quot;All%20Cards%20Small.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;/mdo:image&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;grid_2&quot;&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;It was Toby&amp;#39;s birthday he had $6$ birthday cards.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;The postman then brought some more cards for him&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;and Toby now had $9$ cards.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;How many cards did the postman bring to Toby?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;grid_2&quot;&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Si had $8$ balloons looking bright and bouncy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Some then popped and he only had $5$ left that were so bright and bouncy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;How many had popped?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;grid_2&quot;&gt;&lt;mdo:image src=&quot;All%20Baloons.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;/mdo:image&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;grid_2&quot;&gt;Some children were walking to school together. Three more joined them. Now there were 9 children together. How many were walking together first of all?
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;grid_2&quot;&gt;Marcus had some coins in his pocket. Sadly he lost 7 of them and now he only had three coins. How many coins were there before he lost them?
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/mdoxml&gt;</indexXML>
