Mastering the Part Part Whole Model for Addition

This video tutorial introduces the part-whole model for solving addition problems, using a simple example involving cookies. It explains how to draw the model using rectangular bars to represent different parts and how to combine these parts to find the total. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of visualizing problems to decide on the correct mathematical operation. Viewers are encouraged to practice drawing models for similar problems.

What is the main idea behind the part-part-whole model?

• To use circles to represent numbers

• To use rectangular bars to show different amounts

• To use lines to connect numbers

• To use triangles to represent parts

What should you do if you haven't seen the previous video on number bonds?

• Skip it and continue

• Watch it to understand parts and whole

• Ignore it as it's not important

• Read a book on number bonds
