In this professional development course for teachers, you'll get the training you need to start teaching model drawing, the powerful Singapore Math strategy that gives word problems a visual context
As a teacher, you know that many students groan when it's time to solve word problems
Why is that? Are the problems too difficult? Do students get lost trying to decipher the wording or figure out the computation? Do they simply not know which strategy to use? Actually, it's a combination of all these issues
Luckily, model drawing, a Singapore Math strategy for working word problems, will help your students start to enjoy math in a way they may never have before
The secret behind model drawing is that it gives students a concrete, reliable set of seven steps that they can use to solve 80% of the word problems out there
They won't have to memorize 20 different techniques and know when to use which anymore
Instead, they'll learn how to read the problem, determine its variables, draw a unit bar (the visual model) , adjust that bar, place the question mark to indicate what they're solving for, do the computation, and write a complete sentence at the end
Does it sound too good to be true? This six-week course will prove to you just how effective model drawing can be in your classroom! Note: To receive 25 hours of instruction in the State of Oregon, please ensure your school is eligible to issue professional development units, and that the course is approved by your professional learning coordinator.
