Writing an equation from a Repeated Equal Groups model is possible but only after students understand what the structure is showing. Here’s how to make that connection explicit.

See how REG and Math Practice Standard 2 work together to help students comprehend word problems, bridging abstract reasoning and real-world problem solving.

Choosing the right structure sometimes creates confusion for students and teachers alike. PET? REG? How do you decide?

Number stories that include multiplicative relationships can be a challenge. The Repeated Equal Groups (REG) structure helps students understand what’s happening in the problem.
