Writing Cheques

Starter of The Day Transum Mathematics Topics

Transum,
Cheques are still commonly used despite being largely replaced by more reliable methods of transferring money. They have been around since the 9th century but were particularly widespread during the last century. Many schools use them to pay for a Transum subscription!

Teacher, do your students have access to computers such as tablets, iPads or Laptops? This page was really designed for projection on a whiteboard but if you really want the students to have access to it here is a concise URL for a version of this page without the comments:

Transum.org/go/?Start=May17

However it would be better to assign one of the student interactive activities below.

Laptops In Lessons

Here is the URL which will take them to a related student activity.
