Solve and check a word problem about Pedro cutting and sharing a piece of string. A tape (or strip) diagram can be shown as a visual aid. After solving the first problem correctly, users can change the values in the problem to create new problems of the same type. (See also the Pedro's String (2) applet, with which users create an appropriate diagram to match the values in the problem.)
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 with the pen and text tools, which allows users to draw and write on the applet. These versions have the names "Pedro's String (1) with Writing Tools" and "Pedro's String (2) with Writing Tools."
