Here is a site with great bar diagramming resources. Go over bar diagramming with the whole class but be sure to pull small guided math groups to teach the different types of word problems and bar diagrams in detail. I like the power points and the big templates. I also like the bar diagramming chart by Randall Charles.

As everyone knows, I am all for bar diagramming as a great thinking tool for solving word problems. Here is a great resource for looking at using bar diagramming with various types of word problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, decimals, percents, ratios and algebra. This website -THINKING BLOCKS- has several videos showing bar diagramming in action. PLUS, they provide the actual toolkit to do it on your interactive board or regular computer! WOW…really great stuff!
