In February
2013, the Broome-Tioga BOCES in New York presented a
professional development training of effective teaching in Algebra. New York
will be pursuing the PARCC assessments; however the information presented is
valuable for all states.
In the middle
of the presentation is a discussion of Tape Diagrams to solve ratio word
problems. There are also notes in a number of the slides that provide
information as to how to solve the problems. If you are new to Tape Diagrams, I
highly recommend you download the PowerPoint; it’s worth the view.
