Some tips...
Hello and welcome to the Barofile® site,
We guide you with a few tips…
Where do the videos I purchase go?
The videos are stored and can be accessed in your customer area.
Do I have to buy a Barofile® or can I make one myself?
You can absolutely try to reproduce the tool by following the dimensions described in the "tools" category. Barofile® has been designed for intensive use by children, with particular attention to the following points:
-
Product durability
-
Manufacturing designed for an easy grip, allowing children to manipulate it
-
Use on a dedicated vertical support
-
Layering of bars made possible by the magnetic material
From what age can I use Barofile® and is there an age limit?
Barofile® can be used from 3 years old under adult supervision. There is no age limit!
Why are the bars different colors?
The bars are different colors to visualize the parts placed on the Barofile, and they do not correspond to any specific number. If I place a 4-bar next to a 2-bar, it is better to use two different colors, regardless of which ones, to clearly distinguish the two parts.
Already used in some schools, here’s what children say…
"I understand better and I succeed in math..."
"I remember better because I understood what I learned..."
"I love showing my family what I can do..."
... And here’s what parents say:
"We can see that he enjoys doing math..."
"It’s fun, and we understand what we are doing..."
"The videos allow us to come up with our own questions to ask..."
"On the fridge, it doesn’t take up space, and we practice while cooking..."
Is it compatible with the methods taught at school?
BAROFILE® is accompanied by an approach that adapts to any teaching method. It incorporates concepts developed in countries with the best results in international assessments.
Practical tips to support your child (non-exhaustive list…)
-
Watch the videos with your child and let them manipulate the bars at the same time. You can pause and/or replay the video as many times as you like and let the child explore.
-
Ask simple questions: "Try to make 5 with the colored bars in different ways," "How much more does the 6-bar make compared to the 4-bar?"
-
Use the bars to illustrate everyday situations: setting the table, sharing collections of items…
Encourage your child to explain what they’re doing to reinforce their understanding.
Can we place orders over 30 kilograms for parent associations?
If you wish to purchase equipment weighing more than 30,000 grams (approximately 30 Barofile® for preschool, 45 Barofile® for elementary, or 220 Individual Barofile®), please contact the Barofile® team directly via the contact link on the site.
If you have further questions beyond the tips provided here, you’ll find a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section at the bottom of the page on the site that can clarify any doubts.
Thank you for your trust.
Barofilly,
