Understanding the Read-Draw-Write Process

This video explores the use of tape diagrams as a visual strategy for solving fraction word problems. It introduces the read-draw-write process, which involves reading the problem, representing it visually, and writing equations to solve it. Two examples are provided: one involving chocolate bars and another with cupcakes, demonstrating how tape diagrams can help students understand and solve problems effectively.
