I hit a wall in a specific area of 5th grade math. Advice?
In Course: 5th Grade Math > Unit 6 there are questions like the following,
"The (graph/tape/etc.) diagram below represents fraction multiplication. Which expression represents the image?"
I get the impression that these diagrams are meant to help mentally conceptualize and simplify the process. But for some reason all it does in my brain is make it x10 more complicated. Like I'm just staring at hieroglyphics that my brain is struggling to decipher.
In the questions where a problem is just asked directly, I'm flying through them no problem (so far). But whenever I get to these kind of questions it devolves into pure guessing for me.
In the questions where a supplemental diagram is provided for help, I end up having to ignore it completely and just do the normal algorithm to solve the problem.
I don't like to move on from a unit or quiz until I get it 100%. And this has turned into a frustrating roadblock for me.
As far as I know, I'm just taking the standard courses. Should I perhaps try one of the different math variants like Illustrative, Eureka, or Eureka-squared instead? Are there any resources on the site that break down and explain what the differences are between them?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
