Solve and check a word problem about Pedro cutting and sharing a piece of string. A tape (or strip) diagram can be constructed step-by-step as a visual aid. Users can change the values in the problem to create new problems of the same type. (See also the Pedro's String (1) applet, which creates an appropriate visual for the user.)
Both applets are also available in Spanish versions by EDC in Maine under the names "La Cuerda de Pedro (1)" and "La Cuerda de Pedro (2)". Both applets are also available without the pen and text tools; these versions have the names "Pedro's String (1)" and "Pedro's String (2)".
