Learning to Bar Model Using Creative Manipulatives

Second Graders are using strips of paper to represent the multi-step math problems.  They now have a visual representation of the problem so they can write the standard algorithm to solve the problem.  2.OA. 1As second grade students solve one- and two-step problems they use manipulatives such as snap cubes, place value materials, ten frames, and create drawings  to show their thinking. They then relate their drawings and materials to equations.
