Using Visuals to Solve Math Problems

The video tutorial teaches how to solve a problem by drawing pictures. It explains how Danny sees fish in two bowls and uses drawings to represent the fish. The tutorial guides viewers to use symbols like plus and equal signs to form an equation, and then verify the solution by counting. The process demonstrates modeling addition through drawing, counting, and writing equations.

What is the purpose of drawing a picture in problem-solving?

• To make the problem more difficult

• To help visualize and solve the problem

• To make the problem more colorful

• To distract from the problem

How many fish does Danny see in each bowl?

• Five fish in each bowl

• Two fish in each bowl

• Four fish in each bowl

• Three fish in each bowl

What number should Danny write above each fishbowl?

• Two

• Three

• Four

• Five

Which symbol does Danny use to represent the addition of fish?

• Plus sign

• Division sign

• Multiplication sign

• Minus sign

How many fish are there in total when Danny counts them?

• Five

• Six

• Seven

• Eight

What number does Danny write after the equal sign in his equation?

• Seven

• Five

• Six

• Eight

Why does Danny write the number six after the equal sign?

• Because six is the number of bowls

• Because six is a random choice

• Because he likes the number six

• Because three and three make six

How can Danny verify his answer?

• By counting the fish again

• By asking a friend

• By using a calculator

• By drawing more fish

What is the final step in modeling addition according to the video?
