@lonelyplanet there is half a page missing from my guidebook 😔 Where are November and December? #roadtripplanning

More than 100 #barvember entries in the first 3 days. We have our #mathsambassadors helping to mark and sort them all. We’re loving it @WhiteRoseEd

Can’t wait for #barvember from @WhiteRoseEd to start tomorrow!

Pupils at Kenton are choosing to use their break times to complete #barvember questions. @WhiteRoseMaths we’re sad we only have two days to go!

Having a go at today’s #barvember challenge myself this morning @WhiteRoseMaths

[The Athena Approach @AthenaApproach]

Some super keen students this morning handed in this #barvember question by 7:25am! @WhiteRoseMaths

[The Athena Approach @AthenaApproach]

Starting week 4 of #barvember with over 40 entries today! Here are some solutions from Year 3 and Year 8! @WhiteRoseMaths

@WhiteRoseMaths #barvember question 5 was tough today! Got me thinking! Got my family to try too… of course my dad got there before I did!

[The Athena Approach @AthenaApproach]

The only issue with making #Barvember so exciting for the pupils is having so many to mark at the end of the day! Over 60 handed in to me today! @WhiteRoseMaths

[The Athena Approach @AthenaApproach]

More excellent #barvember work being carried out. We’ve done 7 days so far and have had over 150 submissions for our competition! Even some teachers have joined in and enjoyed the challenge. @WhiteRoseMaths keep ‘em coming!

[The Athena Approach @AthenaApproach]

So proud of this one child who has had a go, and succeeded, at the @WhiteRoseMaths #barvember challenges every day! Great use of bar models!

[The Athena Approach @AthenaApproach]

Over 20 entries for today’s @WhiteRoseMaths #Barvember questions. I even had a mob asking why the board hadn’t been updated at 7am this morning! Adding a competitive element seems to be having an effect!
