The bar model diagram is a very important tool that allows students to solve many types of challenging problems. The bar model diagram is actually an algebraic method of using boxes to represent unknown variables. With the model diagram therefore, a student can understand algebraic concepts more visually and concretely. In this book, we explain how to use bar model diagrams to solve problems of varying difficulty in a detailed and simple manner. Thirteen basic techniques of solving problems using model diagrams will be taught. This book is suitable for students from grade four to grade six.

This professional learning workbook introduces teachers to the fundamentals of using the Bar Model Method, providing the basis and process of understanding different types of word problems and deriving the bar models to solve them.

Singapore Math creates a deep understanding of each key math concept, includes an introduction explaining the Singapore Math method, is a direct complement to the current textbooks used in Singapore, and includes step-by-step solutions in the answer key. Singapore Math, for students in grades 2 to 5, provides math practice while developing analytical and problem-solving skills. This series is correlated to Singapore Math textbooks and creates a deep understanding of each key math concept. Learning objectives are provided to identify what students should know after completing each unit, and assessments are included to ensure that learners obtain a thorough understanding of mathematical concepts. Perfect as a supplement to classroom work, these workbooks will boost confidence in problem-solving and critical-thinking skills!

This monograph serves as a resource book on the Model Method. The main purpose is to make explicit how the Model Method is used to develop students' understanding of fundamental mathematics concepts and proficiency in solving basic mathematics word problems. Through the construction of a pictorial model to represent the known and unknown quantities and their relationships in a problem, students gain better understanding of the problem and develop their abilities in mathematical thinking and problem solving. This would provide a strong foundation for the learning of matheatics from the primary to secondary levels and beyond. This monograph also features the Mathematics Framework of the Singapore mathematics curriculum, and discusses the changes that it has undergone over the past two decades. These changes reflected the changing emphases, needs and challenges in the mathematics curriculum as we entered the 21s century.
