Why Bar Models? - Makes an abstract word problem or equation pictorial. (Concrete → Pictorial → Abstract) - Allows for deeper analysis and understanding of the problem by teaching students to: Identify all information given and its relationship to other pieces of information Identify missing information that needs to be found Understand what mathematical operation needs to take place - Bar modeling is a very versatile strategy! It can be used for problems involving: Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, decimals, percentages, ratios - Bar modeling trains students to think algebraically. “develops students’ visual thinking capabilities and algebraic thinking and reinforces higher level thinking.”
