Instructional Ideas
- For struggling learners, require they construct tape diagrams for each of the problems
- Lead a mini-lesson on creating tape diagrams to show sums and differences
Classroom Considerations
- The class should understand part-to-part ratios
Pros
- The answer key for the examples shows the diagrams that represent the problems
- Encourages the teacher to build the lesson into a discussion as opposed to a lecture
Cons
- None
