representation · tape diagram
- Select the mathematical tool (tape diagram, number line, grid) that best represents the quantities
- Label all parts and units clearly
- Connect visual relationships directly to numerical expressions
- representation (representación) — A picture, diagram, table, or equation that shows the mathematics in a situation.
- tape diagram (diagrama de cintas) — A rectangle cut into equal parts that helps you visualize how a total breaks apart.
- tool (herramienta) — Anything you choose to help you see relationships and solve a problem — a table, a diagram, a graph.
- ordered pair (par ordenado) — Two numbers that go together, like a time and a number of trips, that you can plot as a point.
- round trip (viaje de ida y vuelta) — A complete journey from the start, to the destination, and back to the start.
- Converting minutes to hours by moving the decimal point — 625 minutes is NOT 6.25 hours. An hour is 60 minutes, so divide by 60: 625 ÷ 60 ≈ 10.42 hours.
