New page added: Welcome to "Bar Model of the Week"

In an effort to increase teachers' comfort and familiarity with bar models, I will be posting a new bar model problem each Monday for anyone to try. Draw your bar model, show your thinking, write your solution, and take a picture of it! Then, e-mail your solution to me by Friday and I will post it the following week. Let's stretch our thinking and grow our brains!

Try this week's bar model.
