Register

A Maths Starter of The Day

In a moment your teacher will call the register in random order!

When your name is called you must answer with a multiple of seven.

You cannot choose a number which has already been called out. Take some time now to prepare some alternatives that no one else is likely to come up with.

  • "Initially students will think only of the seven times table as these are the most obvious multiples of seven. As these are exhausted more creative students will come up with larger multiples such as seven thousand or fourteen million. Calling the register in a “random” order can be adapted to calling the register in an order which will allow the weaker students to suggest the easier answers while challenging the more able to be more creative."

  • "Worked very well, with students offering 700, 14777, etc quite quickly. However, they did comment on the picture, that the no. 7 looked like he'd wet himself!!"
