Model Drawing Approach
In the process of grasping Mathematical concepts, children understand best first through concrete manipulative,
followed by pictorial representations and lastly, by attaining the ability to understand abstract concepts.
The Model Drawing approach provides a pictorial representation that helps pupils better understand Mathematics
concepts.

Past PSLE Question
In an aquarium, there are swordtails and guppies.
25% of the fishes are swordtails.
If an equal number of swordtails are put into the aquarium, what
percentage of the fish will be guppies?5 units = 100%
1 unit = 100% ÷ 5
= 20%
3 units = 20% x 3
= 60%
60% of the fish will be guppies.
