Teachers and parents, make word problems less scary and more hands-on!

This EAI Education Bar Models Activity Set is a fantastic tool for helping 3rd and 4th graders visualize and solve multiplication and division problems.

The core of the set is 84 physical 'bar model' pieces in a vinyl pouch – these are like colorful, tangible blocks that kids can arrange to represent the quantities in a word problem, making abstract concepts concrete.

It also includes 35 double-sided, write-and-wipe activity cards that guide learning in three stages: 'Developing' for teacher-led instruction, 'Analyzing' for practice with self-checking, and 'Communicating' for independent problem-solving.

The cards cover one-step and multi-step problems within 100.

A full teacher's guide with answers is included.

This set is perfect for whole-class lessons, small group intervention, or math center activities.

It aligns with Singapore Math and other visual learning strategies, building critical thinking and problem-solving skills in a fun, engaging way.

A must-have resource for any elementary math classroom or homeschool.
