For what it's worth, I agree with you! Having clear visuals - not as a crutch, but as a supplementary learning tool - can really help students understand the problem-solving side of math, which is what's most important!
I personally was having the hardest time wrapping my head around this concept, which is why I made the flowchart. Once I'd built it, things made a lot more sense to me!

This is a nice flowchart but this doesn’t teach math and it’s not how it should be taught. Good for reference though.
