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.

“Dear
President,
principal, ladies and gentleman,
Millions of children around the world have no access to education. They are forced to work long hours under hazardous conditions. In many cases, they are abused by the very individuals responsible for their care and deprived from playing. Many children grow without having health care, food, shelter, and family. By looking at their eyes, we can feel how sad and afraid they are.
Children are the world; yes, we are the world. We are the sunshine, and we are the future. We are here to say please protect children around the world, so they can grow up to become brave adults. Our demands are very simple, we need to play, have fun, enjoy, express ourselves, our voices to be heard, we need to be cared, to be treated fairly, to be protected from all types of violence and abuse. We need to have good education. All we need is to grow happily and safely in a healthy world.
Thank you for your attention and patience!
