Students experience productive struggle!

Students are working together to try and solve this word problem. At the end they share their thinking with each other and celebrate their math thinking!!

Problem:

Let’s learn a little bit about our visiting schools. The American International School of Mozambique has 620 students. The American International School of Johannesburg has 2 and half times more students than Mozambique. The American International School in Ethiopia has 892 students less than Johannesburg. The International School of Kenya has three times the student population of Ethiopia and the International School from Swaziland has 217 less students than the International School of Mozambique. How many students are there in total?
