Model Drawing

Solving a math word problem is quiet a hard task for most students. Thus, specific strategies are used to help students in this approach.
In my opinion, “Model Drawing” has the greatest impact in building children's
confidence and intelligence in dealing with math problems. Most students enjoy
visual effects. Seeing abstract relationships, represented by concrete and colorful
images, helps in understanding, leading to the solution of the problem. For
this reason, we are using small portable white boards in all math problem
solving sessions to help us translate the word problems into colorful images.
