[quote=Anonymous]Singapore Math - introduces algebraic thinking in a developmentally appropriate way. Model drawing … Write the letter C and then draw a rectangle next to it Underneath it, write the letter P, draw the same sized rectangle as you had for C right underneath the one for C, and then add on 7 smaller boxes at the end To the right of both rows, draw a bracket and then write the number 15 This shows you that C is a certain amount and P is 7 more than that. It also shows you that C + P = 15. To an adult with a fully developed brain, this seems silly and too simple. To a 3rd/4th grader whose brain is still developing, this visualization will help if they don't get the equation right off the bat.[/quote]
