In the month since I last uploaded, I've been finishing a spreadsheet. I have often been concerned that pupils who have demonstrated an ability in a given topic seem unable to do the topic shortly afterwards. After reading about the Forgetting Curve I decided to ensure pupils reviewed recent work regularly as starter questions. I developed an Excel spreadsheet that put random numbers into set questions allowing me to generate a set of starter questions simply by opening the file. These were then digitally copied and pasted into a flipchart allowing me to annotate them with the answers. I have also found that doing this allows me to easily change the background colour to aid dyslexic pupils, this can change by the class.
As I have written elsewhere I have been looking to develop educational software to generate an income, so I started to try and replicate it as a web page that I could set up as a subscription site. After a while I realised that much of what makes this file work would be lost, that is the ability to switch on topics as they have been taught and to then save the file. By setting up a webpage for this would also remove the speed element when generating the starter questions and lead to it not being used. So, I have decided to make it available for download at a cost of £15 the link to which is on the store page. To give you a better idea of what it looks like and what is contained there is a link below to a sampler spreadsheet and another to a video on Youtube, there's no sound on it so don't think there is something wrong.
As always, comments gratefully received.
