Price: $99
Length course offered: 6 Weeks
Instructor: Anni Stipek [Bio]
Description:
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!

Be able to use model drawing to increase excitement in your students and help them better answer math word problems.
