Bar Diagram Equation Match

Use the bar models to match, write, or draw addition equations. Each pair of parts combines to make the whole.

Match each bar model

Choose the equation that shows the two parts and the whole in each model.

1.Which equation matches the bar model with parts 4 and 3 and whole 7?
  • 4 + 3 = 7
  • 4 + 2 = 7
  • 3 + 3 = 7
  • 4 + 3 = 8

Part 4 | Part 3 | Whole 7

2.Which equation matches a model with parts 6 and 2 and whole 8?
  • 6 + 1 = 8
  • 6 + 2 = 8
  • 5 + 2 = 8
  • 6 + 2 = 9

Part 6 | Part 2 | Whole 8

3.Select the equation for a bar model with two equal parts of 5 and whole 10.
  • 5 + 4 = 10
  • 5 + 5 = 10
  • 4 + 6 = 10
  • 5 + 5 = 9

Part 5 | Part 5 | Whole 10

4.Which equation shows parts 7 and 2 joining to make 9?
  • 7 + 2 = 9
  • 7 + 3 = 9
  • 6 + 2 = 9
  • 7 + 2 = 10

Part 7 | Part 2 | Whole 9

5.A bar model has parts 1 and 8. Its whole is 9. Choose its equation.
  • 1 + 8 = 9
  • 1 + 7 = 9
  • 2 + 8 = 9
  • 1 + 8 = 10

Part 1 | Part 8 | Whole 9

6.Which equation represents parts 3 and 6 with whole 9?
  • 3 + 5 = 9
  • 2 + 6 = 9
  • 3 + 6 = 9
  • 3 + 6 = 8

Part 3 | Part 6 | Whole 9

Draw a bar model

For each equation, draw two adjacent part boxes and a whole bar that represents their sum.

7.Draw a bar model for 5 + 2 = 7. Label both parts and the whole.
8.Draw a bar model for 4 + 4 = 8, showing the two equal parts.
9.Make a bar model for 3 + 5 = 8. Write each part inside its section and label the whole.
10.Draw a bar model for 6 + 3 = 9 and label its parts and whole.

Write the equation

Use the part labels in each bar model to write an addition equation with its total.

11.A bar model shows parts 2 and 5. Write an equation for the whole.

Part 2 | Part 5

12.A model has parts 4 and 6. Write an addition equation that names the whole.

Part 4 | Part 6

13.The two parts of a bar model are 3 and 7. Write the matching addition equation.

Part 3 | Part 7

14.A bar has parts 1 and 6. Complete the equation to show the total.

Part 1 | Part 6
