"I LOVE these starters, the book worm one is my recent favourite! I use them almost every day. Thanks!
I don't wish to be negative, but I dislike spelling or gramatical errors. In today's starter Lose is spelt with double o, it shouldn't be. Can it be changed? Thanks"

"Thanks very much for your comment and pointing out the spelling mistake. It was noticed by M Webster also and as you can see has been corrected. It's always good to receive feedback; keep it coming!"

"I love Transum. My teacher starts our maths lesson off with a starter everyday and its great. I would like to suggest that Transum gives more harder starters though. But overall Transum is GREAT!"

"When he started without a guitar he had £7 in his pocket. At th end of it all(without the guitar once more) he had £14 in his pocket. That means he made £7 not £14 as the answer section states."

"We found this quite challenging but worked out the answer in the end. It was good fun and it taught us about profit and loss. It was like being in The Apprentice!"
