• Margaret, Lajamanu School NT Australia

• Looks good, could engage students in finding mode. But what's a Smile test? Percentage of what?
  
  [Transum: The Smile Test was a made up term for the purposes of this starter.]
• Hagelsteens, Netherlands
•  
• And what is now the answer ?
  There is no median?
  Usefull in lesson.
  
  [Transum: As there are an even number of faces the median will be the value mid way between the middle two faces.]
• Sarah, NC
•  
• Love this, great interactive board activity.
• Maria Darroch, Rolleston College
•  
• I really liked this starter, but there was nowhere to have their answers checked and because the numbers change when you click on it, I couldn't prepare in advance. But it gave us good discussion around the median.
• Bob Harlin, USA
•  
• Great Starter exercise for engaging students.
• Mrs Prolina, TeRonga School
•  
• I think this is an excellent learning platform for my students... they loved doing this activity and all the other maths starters for the week. Keep up the great work.
