Join us for an engaging session on ‘An introduction to bar modelling’. This session is designed to help teachers enhance their classroom strategies by pairing bar models with abstract calculations, improving students' clarity in problem-solving. Learn how bar models can become the essential scaffold between concrete manipulatives and abstract concepts, solidifying core mathematical understanding for all learners.
We will also explore using bar models to explore effective methods that illustrate structural connections between various mathematical concepts, fostering a more cohesive and meaningful learning experience. Gain practical tools that will elevate your teaching practice and ensure all students can engage with and succeed in maths!
