  • Thank you for sharing such a great resource. I was about to try and get together a bank of starters but time is always required elsewhere, so thank you.
  • Barbara Schindler, Newton Rigg College

  • I use Refreshing Revision a lot but today all the brackets and fractions keep coming up 'jumbled' . There are curly brackets, part words / 's in odd places and it is impossible to make out the question. It is doing this on 2 computers I have tried. Can you help? thank you.

    [Transum: Sorry to hear about this problem Barbara. I have tested it from here and it seems to be working OK. Please take a look at the MathJax FAQ. Many apologies for the inconvenience.]

  • Answers for the starter would be great so students can get immediate feedback and become independent learners.

    [Thanks for your comments Lesley. The answers are only available to signed-in teachers and parents I'm afraid. I you are a subscriber and are projecting this Starter for the whole class to see you can scroll down the page and show the same questions with the answers included in red.]

  • Refreshing Revision really useful resource, that I have actually used for Ks2 revision as some topics are appropriate. I'd love to see either ks2 version, with purely ks2 SATs level topics or adding them to the current version.

    [Transum: Thanks so much for your feedback Mrs B. If you could send me a list of your top ten ideas for topic you would like to see added I will work on it]
  • Mark Adams, St Peters RC School Solihull

  • It would be great if these questions came with answers as well.

  • Mr Barton, Podcast #183

  • … very common practise in UK maths classrooms would be the first five minutes of the lesson the students would be presented with four questions on four topics they've encountered some time in the past. A classic structure for this is a question from last lesson a question from last week a question from last term and a question from last year which is quite nice for spacing and that for me seems very clear that's retrieval practise because the kids have been taught it and then having to try and remember things from long term memory.
