Overview

Media4Math’s Collection of Math Examples: Modeling Sums and Differences Pictorially is a rich resource designed to support students in mastering fundamental arithmetic concepts. This collection focuses on the use of visual models to simplify the concepts of addition and subtraction, offering an intuitive way for students to engage with and understand these operations. The examples in this collection progressively increase in complexity, allowing students to build confidence and deepen their understanding across a range of skills, from basic calculations to more advanced problem-solving techniques.

The visual approach of these examples helps students make connections between abstract numbers and concrete representations, which is particularly beneficial for developing numerical reasoning. By analyzing multiple examples, students are better equipped to generalize concepts and tackle a variety of problems. Media4Math offers an extensive set of examples, far surpassing the limited resources typically found in textbooks and digital curricula.

Subscribers to Media4Math can further customize their instructional materials using the Slide Show Creator tool. This feature enables educators to create tailored presentations from the collection to suit their specific teaching needs.
