There are many models you can use to make a math idea easier to
understand. In this lesson we will look at some of these models!
|
Here's the problem: |
and here's a model. |
| 5 + 2 +
2 + 2 = ? |
 |
|
Here's the solution: |
| 5 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 11 |
 |
Let's look at another one!
|
Here's the problem:
Name even
numbers between and including 44 and 66 |
and here's a model that would help
to solve this problem. |
| OK, first
show that even numbers end in 0,2,4,6,or 8. The possible
answers are shaded blue. |

Now that you have the even numbers
identified, you need to now find the numbers that are between 44
and 66. |
| Color the numbers
from 44 to 66
red. |

Now you can see the numbers that are
red and shaded
blue. those
numbers are your answers. |
|
44, 46, 48, 50, 52,
54, 56, 58, 60, 62, 64, 66 |
So you can see that models sometimes help
you solve a math problem or show a math idea.
