Times Tables Multiplication & Division Word Problems Bar Model Part Part Whole Task Cards

Looking for a purposeful way to help students tackle multiplication and division with confidence and understanding?

This resource is designed to explicitly teach students how to use bar models to represent and solve multiplication and division problems, supporting them to visualise quantities, relationships and unknowns through meaningful word problems.

Rather than relying on guesswork or disconnected procedures, students use bar models to represent part–part–whole and comparison relationships, helping them reason logically and choose efficient solution strategies. Each problem promotes flexible thinking, strong number sense and a deeper conceptual understanding of multiplication and division.

HOW YOU CAN USE THIS RESOURCE:

❇️ Explicitly teach and reinforce multiplication and division using bar models

❇️ Support students to visualise number relationships in word problems

❇️ Small group or guided maths instruction

❇️ Whole class rotations or maths stations

❇️ Relief-teacher-friendly lessons with minimal prep
