Drawing a picture is a problem solving strategy that helps our students determine the correct answer in many multi-step word problems. However, sometimes it's a challenge to get the kids to actually draw the picture. Imagine how much fun they will have when they go to Sumo Paint to practice problem solving!! I found this problem on the TEA website:
Buster’s mother made 17 pancakes for the 5 members of Buster’s family. If each
family member receives the same number of pancakes for breakfast, how many
pancakes will each family member receive?
Check out the original Sumo picture to help solve the problem- I bet your students could do much better!!
