I wrote a blog post about this exact same thing this week! And, I had this same realization while working on ratio, proportion, and percent problems with my Algebra 1 kids! Except, I haven't been encouraging my students to draw the diagrams enough. Instead, I've been drawing the diagram and cheating us both out of a learning experience. I need to keep drawing diagrams. But, I need to make my students draw their diagrams before they see mine. Then, we need to compare and contrast the diagrams to see what we can learn from each other!
