Name: Using Bar Models To Solve Hard Multi Step Fraction Problems
Uploaded: 2024-07-26T08:35:18.000Z
Description: We look at how we can use a comparison bar model to solve a more complex fraction problem. This requires pupils to create two bars, one to represent each part of a problem. This example involves calculations with decimals so is more appropriate for upper KS2.
