## A Mathematics Lesson Starter Of The Day

• Jan, South Canterbury
•
• 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.]
• Lesley, UK
•
• 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.]
• Mrs B, Stockport
•
• 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.

[Transum: The answers to Transum activities are available to those signed in to their Transum subscription account. You can sign up for an account here.]

How did you use this starter? Can you suggest how teachers could present or develop this resource? Do you have any comments? It is always useful to receive feedback and helps make this free resource even more useful for Maths teachers anywhere in the world.

For Students:

For All:
### Content Structure
The text passage contains a series of mathematical questions and their corresponding answers. Each section presents a different mathematical concept, such as number sequences, factors, multiples, polygons, rounding, area calculations, fractions, and more. Each question is followed by its answer, making it a comprehensive set of revision problems with solutions.

### Analysis
multiple_questions_with_answers

this type of content is useful for revision and practice, as it covers a wide range of mathematical topics and provides immediate feedback through the answers.
Given a text passage, determine:
    1. If it contains a mathematical question (including word problems or calculations)
    2. If an answer to that mathematical question is provided in the text

First, describe the content structure you found in 1-2 sentences.

Then provide your analysis in the following format:

## A Mathematics Lesson Starter Of The Day

• Jan, South Canterbury
•
• 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.]
• Lesley, UK
•
• 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.]
• Mrs B, Stockport
•
• 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.

[Transum: The answers to Transum activities are available to those signed in to their Transum subscription account. You can sign up for an account here.]

How did you use this starter? Can you suggest how teachers could present or develop this resource? Do you have any comments? It is always useful to receive feedback and helps make this free resource even more useful for Maths teachers anywhere in the world.
