Hello, I'm learning about bar models in math. Can anyone tell me what they are and how they're used in solving problems?
 
A bar model is a mathematical visualization of representation of numbers and their relationships with the help of rectangular bars. It makes students comprehend addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division through splits of problems into clear parts. The bars with proportions or comparisons are often used in word problems to simplify complex problems. It is particularly prevalent in Singapore Math and primary.
