  • This was a really good warm up.

  • My Year 10 students were asked to add up their 6 differences. They got very excited both when the answers were being revealed and especially when we were counting down through the errors to reveal the most accurate student!!

  • My year 6 Maths group really love these starters. Keep up the good work.

  • Good to hear that you find the starters useful. Don't forget that many of them are generated randomly so refreshing the page shows different numbers. This makes them useful to revisit and practise skills and techniques learned. The answers to the starters appear further down the page. It's great to receive your feedback!
  • Sylvain - Year 6, Charnwood Primary School
  •  
  • More questions or the option to change the shapes would be good.

  • The starters are great. My students love them.
  • Mrs Dodd, Garth Hill College

  • Great warm ups.
