321- Singapore's Model Drawing Approach with a "Units" Sentence

Friday, April 17, 2015: 8:00 AM-9:00 AM
157 A (BCEC)

 

Lead Speaker:
Michael Winders


 

The Singapore model drawing approach can be used to solve a variety of word problems, but its true power lies in the way the process provides a bridge to algebraic thinking and techniques. I will show how a "units" sentence can be used to solve problems with diagrams, and how this idea transitions to purely algebraic solutions.
