Problem Solving Rationale
<p>The student's strategy of using a diagram and a key to represent the six boats, two friends per boat, and three fish per friend would work to solve this task. The student states a correct answer, "36 fish."</p>

Representation
practitioner
Representation Rationale
<p>The student's diagram is appropriate and accurate. The student provides labels in a key for a boat, fish, and person. The student does not have to use the term <i>key</i>, but it would have provided another mathematical term to the student's solution.</p>
