Subtraction is a lot more than just “take away.” In this lesson, students develop an understanding of subtraction as comparison by creating and interpreting data from bar graphs.

This hands-on EL Math Lesson will help students develop compare and contrast skills while they think about effective ways to collect data. Use alongside Bar Graphs: Interpreting Data or as a stand-alone lesson.

Teach your students to use bar models and multiplication to find a fraction of a whole number.

In this lesson, students will construct their own number lines and bar models to find equivalent fractions.
