Barvember 2022

During the month of November we will be taking part in a daily White Rose Maths challenge called  Barvember.  Each day there is a problem to solve (5 levels of challenge available) using the bar model, which is a pictorial model to aid with problem solving. You can find the problems here: https://whiterosemaths.com/resources/barvember#problems

In school, we will be accessing the challenges from last year (2021 set) but on the White Rose Maths website you will find the link to this year’s problems launched daily (answers are tweeted out during the day) and all previous year’s, if you want to play along at home for some extra practise!

On the school website on the Maths page, I have uploaded a video guide to how to use the model for each level, although the White Rose resources also have a powerpoint tutorial.
