Drawing Pictures and Diagrams

Seeing the Problem

Sometimes, drawing a picture or diagram can help you understand and solve math problems. You can make circles, tallies, boxes, or number lines to show what is happening in the problem.

Pictures make it easier to count, add, or subtract, and help you see the answer more clearly.

Examples

  • Drawing 5 apples and crossing out 2 to find how many are left.

  • Making a number line to solve 8 + 7.
