First we will look at the four operations and a progression of barmodel representations that can be applied across all grades in elementary school. Then we will look at more complex barmodel examples, including how to apply barmodels to other concepts such as fraction and equations.
Big Idea: Using barmodels to solve 2-step real-world problems involving addition and subtraction. Apply the part-whole concept in addition and subtraction to numbers to 10,000
Barmodels (also known as strip diagrams or tape diagrams) are visual representations of math relationships using rectangular bars. Instead of jumping into symbolic math (like equations), students first draw simple, labeled bars to show how quantities relate to each other.

What is a BarModel in Math? A barmodel is one such tool that helps us visualize the given math problem using different-sized rectangles or bars. The size of the bars are proportional to the numbers that it represents. Let’s take up some barmodel examples to understand them better.
Beginning in 2nd grade and continued in 3rdgrade students learn to use the barmodel for multiplication and division. These concepts are based on equal groups or the part-whole concept, where each equal group is one part of a whole.
An explanation of how we can draw a bar model as a strategy to help us solve word problems for addition or subtraction.
