    Problem-Solving Resources

    Thinking Blocks (Web-based & free app)

    K-1st Grade: Thinking Blocks Jr. 

    2nd Grade and up: Thinking Blocks
     
    Bar models are used to solve multi-step problems that involve larger numbers and move students away from a “key word” strategy and concentrate more on the relationship being described.

    Consider the problem: Keisha has 213 stamps in her collection.  She has 78 fewer stamps than Fran. How many stamps are in Fran’s collection?

    Using the “key word” strategy, children often use the word fewer to signal subtraction, when the solution for this problem should involve addition. By using the bar model the operation is clear. Students use of bar models are expanded to include multiplication and division problems, and problems involving fractions and decimals. Worth noting is the thoroughness with which these real-world problems prepare students for algebra. In translating their problem-solving skills to algebra, students will merely substitute a variable for each question mark in the bar model and solve the problem using a similar number sentence.
