Erik Yates on 06 Jan 15

This is a good explanation of relationships that are NOT proportional and why. The candle problem is a good one--ask students, "How could you turn this into a proportion?" They would want to say that the statement should change to something like "How much candle is burned each hour?"

What a great resource this is! Word problems are often a challenge, but modeling them helps a lot, and Thinking Blocks at Math Playground are an excellent way to model word problems. Sure, drawing pictures can be fun, but sometimes time doesn't allow us to draw detailed pictures. This Singapore math-style of modeling works, and Math Playground did an excellent job with this tool.
