Grades 6-8: Step by Step Model Drawing: Solving Word Problems
Using the Singapore Math Model Drawing Strategy

Do you have students who struggle with word problems? Wait until they try Singapore Math’s Model Drawing Strategy. This highly visual approach bridges the gap between the concrete level (manipulatives) and the abstract level (algorithms). It helps students to see the relationships between numbers. The model drawing strategy is easily incorporated into any math curriculum and is one strategy recommended in the Common Core State Standards. In this workshop you will learn a step by step approach to use with students to solve whole number, fraction, decimal, rate/distance, ratio, percent, and algebra word problems.
