DD has real work for the first time in two years... which means I can participate in this thread now!

A recent math question for an online curriculum:

Explain how you would draw a model to show the solution to the equation 2x=6. State the solution and explain how the model helps you find the solution.

DDs answer:

"I am not a visual thinker. Models do not make sense to me, however I understand to solve the problem I need to isolate X. I understand that multiplication and division are inverse operations.

Thank you and sorry about the inconvenience."

She then went on to describe how she would solve the problem... and got the correct answer.

I can't wait to see what the teacher makes of this response.
