Bar modeling is a visual


representation strategy that
By:
was developed to help students
Mr. Denis
make sense of and solve word
problems. This bar model can be
used in addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and division.

Oh I see...

So, how many


type of bar
model, sir?

There are
five types of
bar model.
The first one is
Part-Part Whole Model: This model is good
for addition and subtraction.
Example: Amy has 6 dolls. She has 9 stuffed bears. How
many toys does Amy have in her collection?

6 + 9 = 15

Amy has 15 collections

The second one is


Comparison Model: This model is good for addition
and subtraction as well.
Example: Kiri has 138 beads in her collection. Tiffany has 58 more
beads in her collection. How many beads does Tiffany have?

138 + 58 = 196

Tiffany has 196 beads.


The third one is
Equal Parts of a Whole: This model is good for
multiplication.
Example: Mr. Ing needs new tires for 4 bikes. Each bike has 2
tires. How many tires does Mr. Ing need?

1 unit = 2

4 units = 4 x 2

= 8

Mr. Ing need 8 tires.

The fourth one is


Comparison and Part-Part Whole: This model is
good for addition, subtraction, multiplication and
division.
Example: Donna makes 6 greeting cards. Her sister makes 3 times as
many greeting cards. How many greeting cards does her sister make?

1 unit = 6

3 units = 3 x 6

= 18

Her sister makes 18 greeting cards.


The last one is
Comparison and Equal Parts of a
Whole: This model is good for addition,
subtraction, multiplication and division.
Example: April and Dante made a total of 68 bracelets.
Dante made 3 times as many as April. How many bracelets
did Dante make?

4 units = 68

1 unit = 68 ÷ 4

= 17

3 units = 3 x 17

= 51

Dante made 51 bracelets

Thank
you, sir!
You are
welcome!
