I shared this class once a week with another teacher and needed a worksheet that used bar modelling as this is how she taught them to do fractions (which I think is amazing). I found the pupils started to develop a good understanding of what they were doing when they were adding and subtracting fractions when they could see the parts being broken up. I used it with a low/mid-ability class. The worksheet is scaffolded with a few for them to try without boxes at the end.

Simple PowerPoint explaining the Bar Model approach all supported by Widgit Symbols

This is a great resources which practitioners can use flexibly within the classroom. Children can assess bar models and challenge themselves appropriately. I hope you enjoy!

A very visual introduction to equivalent fractions using the bar model, includes one children's task. A 15 page notebook that can be picked up and taught.

A series of bar models ready to print for fractions of numbers and objects. Ideal to use in lessons, for homework, for intervention or for home learning. Pack contains the following: Find half of numbers 10, 20, 30, 50 and 100. Find half of objects. Blank template for halves, thirds and quarters ready to add own numbers.

A (fast paced) FULL LESSON on sharing and comparing with ratios using with bar modelling and fractions. Assumed prior knowledge: Converting between metric measures. Fractions of amounts. We are learning about: Sharing with ratios. We are learning to: Use ratios to compare and share amounts. Differentiated objectives: Developing learners will be able to share an amount into a given ratio. Secure learners will be able to use a ratio to compare given amounts and totals. Excelling learners will be able to solve unfamiliar problems using their knowledge of using ratios to compare and share amounts. Starter: Express ratios as 1:n. Match up equivalent ratios (standard shade in the grid activity). Main: 2 examples: (Ex1) finding fractions and ratio in simplest form, (Ex2) Bar modelling to share ratio. Standard questions on sharing amounts with bar model provided. Two more examples: comparing amounts using the bar model. Worded questions increasing in difficulty (with solutions). Plenary: Combining a:b and b:c to a:b:c. Extra: Booklet with all questions provided as worksheet to stick in books. Any feedback is appreciated!

Two worksheets showing how to solve 2-step equations (e.g. 2x + 6 = 12, 3x - 8 = 16). Both worksheets start with an example and use the bar models to scaffold.

5 Short lessons to develop the use of bar modelling for addition - starting with concrete andleading to pictoral. Devised for my Year 4 class but could be used throughout KS2 or even earlier or later.

A4 blank bar models. Great to print out in bulk for children to use and record in their maths books.

Ratio with Bar Models. This animated PowerPoint can be used as part of a mastery style curriculum such as the White Rose Maths Secondary Scheme or to complement any secondary maths scheme. It has been written to lead students through using bar models to solve more complex ratio problems found in KS3 and KS4. Key words have been highlighted throughout in blue and all worksheets are also provided separately as a pdf for ease of printing. Please also look out for a separate resource called “problem solving with bar models”. It takes this resource to the next level. I hope you find it useful :-)

Bar model progression guidance EYFS to Year 6 Simple, easy to use guide for all primary teachers

This blank Bar Model can be printed on A4 or A3 and can be laminated for all your maths uses with addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Ideally for use with concrete manipulatives such as dienes blocks, cubes, counters and any other concrete equipment during practical immersive maths lessons. After laminated, children can use a whiteboard marker to create each part.
