  • "An excellent starter that inproves pupils times table skills without peer competition."
  • Piers de Chenu, Ilfracombe College. Devon. UK
  • Wednesday, June 27, 2007
  • "This is a brilliant starter, it kills the gossip and enables the register to be taken in an orderly manner.
    It enables the student to challenge themselves, not each other, although a student deliberately 'failed' to get the fastest time when after 5 wins he decided that it was someone elses turn.

    Only one winge, why does it repeat problems on the same screen?
    Could it be levelled to allow it to be aimed at the more able students?

    Do not throw this one away, bring it back for september please."

  • "Really like this starter. I agree with the previous comment. A levelled starter would be good to challenge the more able."
