Example:Word Problems with Percentage
40% of the school students went to theNational History Museum for a field trip.
20% of students went to the zoo. 50%of the remaining students went to afarm. Only 60 students didnt have a
field trip and stayed at school. Howmany students are there in this school?

Abstract
The study examined the effectivenessof using model-drawing methodologyto solve problems for a group of highschool students.
The 30-week intervention used asingle-subject design to teach an 8-step model-drawing approach for
solving problems with fractions andpercentages.
The results showed improvement insolution accuracy.

Purpose of the Study
An 8-step model-drawing technique isintended
to enhance the conceptual understandingof the problem at task
to reduce the amount of information tobe held in working memory
No prior studies done with students withlearning disabilities
Primary purpose of this study-to assess theusefulness of Singapore model drawingtechnique for students with LD

Total students = ?
1) 60 / 2 = 302) 30 x 10 = 300
Answer: There are 300 students in the school.
Step 1: Draw a unit bar and divide it into 10 equal parts
One unit bar = ?

Example: Fraction Problems
a) Rosie baked 63 cookies. 3/7 of them werechocolate chip cookies and the rest weresugar cookies. How many sugar cookies didRosie bake?
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
63
63 / 7 = 9 (one unit bar equals 9)
9 x 4 = 36 (sugar cookies)
63 / 7 = 9 (one unit bar equals 9)3 x 9 = 27 (chocolate chip cookies)63 27 = 36 (sugar cookies)

Example: Fraction Problems b) 5/8 of the students in my class are boys.
1/5 of the boys have black hair. If 40 boysdont have black hair, how many studentsare in my class in all?
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
5/8 - boys 3/8 - girls1)
5 units - boys

1/5 boys with black hair Or 4/5 without black hair1 3 42

2)
40 / 4 = 10 (one unit bar) =>
10 x 8 = 80 (students in the class)Frostig CenterThere were 80 students in the class.

Conclusion
Model-drawing strategy can be an effectivealternative method of teaching fraction andpercent problems to students with LD;
Although the training yielded improvement,it took longer for the students to learn thetechnique than initially planned;
Students performance remained higher thantheir pre-intervention scores, though itslightly declined at the 4-week follow-up;

ImplicationsTheoretical and Practical Considerations
Due to their abstract nature, word problems withpercent and fractions are especially hard to tacklefor students with LD.
The model-drawing approach gives students amore concrete method in comprehending andsolving word problems in order to get past theirlanguage difficulties.By drawing out what they are reading, thestudents are creating a concrete visual applicationof the problem. This helps them to manipulate thenumbers more easily.

Implications (cont.)The word problem instruction could also beapplied in different ways: either in the large-group format or as part of differentiatedinstruction.The model drawing gives students a clearprocedure for comprehending and executingproblems.As students understand each level of aproblem, the problem of the day or of thelesson can eventually be taught at gradelevel.
