The Bar Model is a teaching and learning strategy for mathematical problem solving which can be applied to all operations.
Our Bar Model Poster Pack contains 16 display posters.
The pack illustrates the five basic variations of the Bar Model and includes examples of how to apply them to different operations.
The Bar Model Poster Pack is available in black and white and colour versions.
