i still dun quite understand how to draw or interpret the model, but logically, for chloecube’s question, u can see it as such:
robert already has 124 more than john.
now, how to make that difference between them lesser? robert must give some more to john so that he has only 36 more (instead of 124 more) than John. so of cos robert must give some more.
next step, fixed the (new) difference between them to be 36. so any difference ie 124-36=88 will have to be shared between the two equally or else the difference wont be 36.
but how to make the child understand logically is a headache -

What is x?
3/12, 6/9, 5/10, 7/8, 1/14, x/11
Of which they shaded 3/12, 5/10 and 1/14, seems like a pattern or something…
