You can definitely replicate the tool by following the dimensions described in the "tools" section. Barofile® was designed for intensive use by children, with particular attention to:
-
Product durability.
-
Manufacturing designed for easy grip, allowing children to manipulate it.
-
Use on a dedicated vertical support.
-
Layering of bars made possible by the magnetic material.
You can use Barofile® from preschool age, following the video numbering to understand how it works. An 8-year-old who has never used Barofile® should start with the "First Steps" video. There is no age limit. This mathematical model allows for solving complex problems.
The bars are different colors to visualize the parts placed on the Barofile and do not correspond to any specific number. If I place a 4-bar next to a 2-bar, it’s best to use two different colors, no matter which ones, to clearly distinguish the two parts.
"I understand better and I succeed in math..."
"I remember better because I understood what I learned..."
"I can say what I’m doing in math..."
"Through the colored bars, I feel the numbers..."
"I know how to search and I’m not afraid to make mistakes..."
"I finally have a tool that’s hands-on and can be used every day..."
"You can see the children love it, they all want to participate..."
"The videos make my prep work easier..."
"I know how to verbalize and help the child verbalize, especially in problem-solving..."
"The class loves to search..."
"With the INDIVIDUAL BAROFILE®, I have a shared tool with the AESH who works with a child with special educational needs..."
"In schools where BAROFILE® is used, in all classes from PS to CM2, we see progress and improved math results..."
"We have a shared tool that ensures continuity within our school group..."
BAROFILE® comes with a methodology that adapts to any teaching approach. It aggregates concepts developed in countries with the best results in international assessments.
BAROFILE® brings innovation by combining:
-
The "manipulate / verbalize / abstract" approach.
-
The ordinal and cardinal aspects of numbers.
-
The geometric modeling of numbers with different levels of abstraction (Cubes / Bars / Hollow Bars).
-
Strong guidance: I show you, you practice.
-
Explicit pedagogy: each video has a clear goal that’s easy to understand.
-
At the end of the video, "Key Points to Remember" summarize the key takeaways.
