Top Tip for Parents
Bar models are a brilliant tool for helping your child visualise word problems. Draw a long rectangle, split it into two parts, and label what you know. For example: "There are 35 fish. 12 swim away. How many are left?" becomes a bar of 35 split into 12 and a question mark. This simple picture makes problem solving click!
