Modeling with Tape Diagrams
Ding, Meixia
Teaching Children Mathematics, v25 n3 p158-165 Nov 2018
Tape diagrams, also known as strip diagrams, bar models, fraction strips, or length models, are linear representations that can be used to effectively model quantitative relationships during problem solving. Tape diagrams are a powerful model recommended by the Common Core, but they are relatively new to teachers and students in the United States. This study aims to support teachers who are less familiar with tape diagrams in learning to use this model productively, as exemplified by two Chinese teachers.
