- "Another great starter ... really makes the pupils think .. they had to be able to justify the positions - so no guessing allowed! Great for formative assessment - did all my pupils know that a decimal/fraction squared gave a smaller answer - No!!!!!"

- "We all found the starter a challenge. Personally I didn't understand any of it but I'm sure that a few people got there in the end. After sir stopped us he went through it and it became clearer to all of us. Some of us said they could of done it in their sleep (Molly!!) but others where soon put out of their misunderstanding.
A starter that really got our thinking caps on!"

Teacher, do your students have
access to computers? Do you have "Laptops in Lessons"? Whether your students each have a TabletPC or share a desktop PC, this activity lends itself to eLearning (Engaged Learning). |
