Drawing Pictures to Solve Problems

Visualizing Math

Drawing pictures helps you see what’s happening in a math problem. You can draw circles, squares, or even little animals to help you solve addition and subtraction questions. This makes math easier and more fun!

Try drawing out the numbers in your problem to find the answer.

Examples

  • Draw 5 apples, then cross out 2 to see how many are left.

  • Draw 3 groups of 4 candies to find the total.
