Maths Word Problems

                                      Walt: find the key info in a                          question

 Kimberly bought stamps at the post office. Some of the stamps had a snowflake design, some had a truck design, and some had a rose design. Kimberly bought 3 snowflake stamps. She bought 5 more truck stamps than snowflake stamps, and 6 fewer rose stamps than truck stamps. How many stamps did Kimberly buy in all?

                     

                            

                     My Reflection
It was easy to find the key words, because I looked for the main words  in the question to find the answer and I also found it kind of hard to write down how I worked it out. The way I solved the question was 2+3=5+8=13.
