Using bar models for addition and subtraction problems

Maths

Measures

Can be a representation of a word problem that helps to identify the calculation needed to solve it.

Help show the relationship between the known and unknown values in a problem.

Help to identify if there is a comparison between two or more values or if there are part-whole relationships or scaling relationships between values.

Known values: 89g and 35g. Unknown: The known values added together. (89g + 35g)

Known values: 89kg and 35kg. Unknown: The difference between the known values. (89g - 35g)]
