24 Model Drawing Problems

Here is a copy of an email you should have received from Lorinda.  It is a PDF file so you should be able to save it to a resource folder of your choice.  

Teachers,

I wanted to pass on to you a handout from the 2009 North Carolina Council of Teachers of Mathematics conference has 24 word problems that increase in complexity from #1 to #24. They would make very good extra guided practice problems for Model Drawing as you go through the year. Take a look at which problems would work with your grade level and begin a bit easier to learn the structure if you haven’t already.

Sixth grade teachers have been included in order to see an overview of the principals behind Singapore mathematics and the Model Drawing problem solving approach. These 24 problems would be a wonderful supplement to your resources, too.

First, learn the structure with the easier problems and then progress to solving quite difficult word problems using the structure as a tool.

Have a great fall break,

Lorinda Kline
