Question

HOW DO I WRITE A TAPE DIAGRAM ;D

Answer 1

LOOK AT A PICTURE FIRST, you might be confused if you read this first.... I think the easiest way to figure it out is to search on google, and just look at google images... but a tape diagram (from what I can see) is best used in a situation with a ratio. you draw out the ratio, such as 5:3 (which is from the picture I'm looking at) and then, than add up the ratio, divide it from the total they give you, thus giving you the amount each section of the tape is worth, than multiply that by the numbers of the ratio given....

Answer 2

Just make some squares in a row, and do your operation... You can add the boxes, or the content under it or subtract it as well.

[ Just make some joined squares ]

[ As in figure, students can add all the boxes with red color and blue color or can find out by how much, blue is greater than the red ]

Hope this helps!
