Where's my Match?
The teacher will draw bar models on the
board.
Using Spin the Wheel, the teacher will select
some students to match equations to its
corresponding bar model.
After matching the equations on its bar
models, the teacher will write some
algebraic equations on the board.
Using Spin the Wheel, the teacher will select
some students to match bar models to its
corresponding equations.
The teacher will check if the matches are
correct after the matching activity.
Analysis
How does using bar model help you
understand an equation better?
Why is it important to accurately
represent numbers in a bar model?
What is a Bar Model?
It’s a method for visualising a math
problem where bars or rectangles
represent known numbers and unknown
numbers.
Example:
Benefits of Bar Model
1. Simplification: Breaks down complex
problems into manageable visual parts
2. Visualization: Helps students see the
relationships between numbers and
understand concepts better.
3. Engagemennt: Makes learning
interactive and fun
Conclusion
Bar models are a powerful tool for students to learn
and solve equations. By visualizing parts of an
equation, bar models make abstract concepts
tangible, paving the way for a deeper understanding
of algebra.
Application
Represent the given algebraic equation into a bar model.
Assessment
Represent the given algebraic equation into a bar model
and find the value of the unknown.
Assignment
Answer the following problems by using bar method.
1. Maria has 5 apples. She buys some more apples and
now has a total of 8 apples. How many apples did she
buy?
2. John has 7 marbles. He gives 2 marbles to his friend.
How many marbles does he have left?
3. There are 4 red balloons and some blue balloons. In
total, there are 9 balloons. How many blue balloons are
there?
