Bar-Modeling Orthogonality

When incorporating Singapore’s bar model method—the problem-solving visualization strategy to tackle word problems—at the elementary school level and its aim to develop students’ pre-algebraic thinking skills (before they are introduced to formal algebra) are not often partially achievable or necessarily correlated in practice.

Wallet-friendly Singapore math textbooks, workbooks, and teachers’ resources on their own doesn’t guarantee problem-solving mastery—bar-modeling orthogonality seems to be a constant in many traditional American classrooms, often because of teachers’ or parents’ faux perception that a foreign math curriculum or publication is harder (or even inferior) than their local inch-deep-mile-wide one.

Eat a Mars Bar

Clenching and unclenching your buttcheeks as if there was a Mars Bar jammed inbetween them. This is to ensure you keep the blood flowing when standing still for a long period of time.

Instructor: To keep the blood flowing don't forget to eat a Mars Bar. Don't fully eat a Mars Bar, and don't produce a Mars Bar.
