As the name suggests, it is eight wonderful steps that guide the student to drawing a pictorial model of the word problem. I don’t know for sure, but I think the eight steps were originally from this book by Bob Hogan and Char Forsten. Long ago I was introduced to the 8-step modeling method. Tape diagrams are especially useful for modeling addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, and ratios/proportions. The tape diagram does not do the calculations for the student, but it does make it easier for the student to see which calculations might be needed. Once the word problem is accurately modeled, the student has an easier time seeing which operations to use in solving the problem. Unfortunately, it was not until deep into my career as a math teacher that I learned about this awesome tool for solving word problems.Ī tape diagram is a model that pictorially represents a word problem. Oh, how I wish I was taught how to use tape diagrams to solve word problems. In fact, there are many times in which I was the one doing the complaining. Heck…I certainly heard it uttered numerous times in my own classroom. How often have you heard that in your classroom. ![]()

So the picture is clear: Collins’ role in the team’s offense cratored this season. In the same vein, he recorded the fewest dunks in his career in 2022-23 - an aspect with which bigs on the receiving end of Trae Young’s lobs almost never struggle. Per Basketball Reference, he took the most corner three-pointers in his career (98), but shot the worst he had ever in a season (29.6%), a shot that is typically very efficient due to its shorter distance. But the arrival of Dejounte Murray further crowded out Collins’ shot volume, and partially as a result he sunk to a a career-low 17.1% USG rate this season.Ĭompared to previous seasons, Collins was involved in fewer play sets, increasingly being relegated to spotting up in the corner for catch-and-shoot attempts. The peripheral shooting stats never wavered: an 80% mark from the free-throw line and a 62% shooting clip from inside the arc were both better than his career averages. He began regaining his form from deep down the stretch of the season, even putting in some shots without a clean shooting pocket catch: In 12 regular games, he shot 44% from three-point range on 4.3 attempts per game, and then in the 6-game first round series against the Boston Celtics, he shot 34% on 5.6 attempts per game. But from that date until the end of the season, he figured something out. From the beginning of this season until March 13th, Collins shot just 25% from three on 3.2 attempts per game. John Collins played virtually the entire season with a wrap on the ring finger of his shooting hand from an injury sustained late in the 2021-22 season. Collins finished the season scoring just 13.1 points per game, the fewest since his rookie season, as well as a career-low 6.5 rebounds per game. After never shooting worse than 34% in any season from deep, his three-point shooting percentage plummeted to 29%, and that mark even rebounded after a late season climb. In his sixth season as a professional, Collins suffered the worst shooting slump of his entire career. I would wager that everybody affiliated with Atlanta Hawks, including John Collins himself, would agree that the 2022-23 season was something of a disappointment for forward. ![]() ![]() ![]() It's super clear the border is by this ditch," said Canadian border guard Phil Toews in an interview in the slippery, shallow ditch.
