We are currently working through Chapter 9: Multiplication and Division Bar Models, so I rewrote some of the word problems to be more festive: Superbowl Style!
We began by joining with a Bar Modeling Buddy. Buddies were focused on looking at their partner's bar models and making sure each bar model was clear, organized (labeled) and correct.
As partners worked through a bar modeling "playoff," they each earned the opportunity to play in the Bar Modeling Superbowl!
I set the timer for 3 minutes per quarter, and buddies played paper football- each touchdown equalling 7 points. This served as great multiplication practice for our 7's facts! Partners were extended to show the results of their game through a bar model!
