"What a brilliant website. We have just started to use the 'starter-of-the-day' in our yr9 lessons to try them out before we change from a high school to a secondary school in September 2007. This is one of the best resources on-line we have found. The kids and staff love it. Well done an thank you very much for making my maths lessons more interesting and fun." *Phil Anthony, Head of Maths, Stourport High School

Satisfactory
Didn't really capture the interest of the students
Not for me! I wouldn't use this type of activity.
