What is a bar model in algebra?
Considering this, what is bar model method?
In maths a bar model is a pictorial representation of a problem or concept where bars or boxes are used to represent the known and unknown quantities. Bar models are most often used to solve number problems with the four operations – addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
Hereof, what is an algebraic model?
An algebraic model uses algebra to describe a real-world situation. We can use algebraic models to solve problems. By taking the information given in a problem, we can represent quantities using variables and then set up an equation using those variables.
The Model Method involves drawing of diagrams in the form of rectangular bars to represent known and unknown numerical quantities, to show the relationships between various quantities and thus solving these problems. The configurations can be easily partitioned into smaller units whenever necessary.
