Grade 3 - Word Problems - Part and Whole Bar Model for Solving Word Problems

In this video, we tackle a word problem using a part-whole model, specifically bar modeling, to break down the problem visually. The scenario involves a total amount of money, a portion spent, and the remaining amount being divided equally among several items. We first subtract to find the remaining amount and then divide that amount to determine the cost of each item.

The approach combines subtraction, division, and multiplication to solve the problem, emphasizing the importance of visualizing the steps and verifying the final answer with clear labeling or a complete sentence.
