EngageNY Math Modules:EngageNY Math Modules: Tape DiagramsTape Diagrams

Presented by EUREKA Presented by EUREKA

Conducted by the writers of the EngageNY modules, this session will discuss the tape diagram as it goes hand in hand with word problems, promoting perseverance in problem solving and developing independence in students’ ability to work through problems. Following the learning path the students would experience, workshop participants will solve a progression of increasingly complex word problems in order to understand how proficiency in the tape diagram method can be developed in students and colleagues. During this session, participants will experience the part-whole and comparison models of tape diagrams and will develop an instinct for which is best suited to a particular word problem. Participants will learn through experience how to help their students to develop the habits of mind that support successful use of the tape diagram.

This workshop is appropriate for teachers of grades K-8 who are interested in furthering their understanding of this instructional model while sharpening their own mathematical habits. As a result, teachers will be better prepared to support their students’ journey to proficiency with the mathematical practices.
