Using Visual Aids

Picture Your Problem

Drawing diagrams, charts, or graphs makes complex problems easier to understand. Visual aids help you spot patterns and organize your thinking. Don’t be afraid to sketch, even for simple problems!

Use graph paper for plotting points or shapes.

  • Draw tables to keep track of data.

Examples

  • Sketch a triangle to label side lengths before finding the area.

  • Make a table of values for a function before graphing it.
