Note to teacher:
Spinning the wheel randomly selects a number from 2 to 9. Whichever number appears becomes the 'theme' for nine questions in each of the following topics: arithmetic, decimals, percentages and fractions. If you prefer not to use a specific topic, simply hide it by clicking the button in the top-right corner of its panel.
The questions have been designed so that most can be worked out mentally, though a few may require pencil and paper. As the teacher, you can decide whether all students should copy down the questions or if a quick show-of-hands is a better fit for your lesson plan.
Doing this activity once with a class helps students develop strategies. It is only when they do this activity a second time that they will have the opportunity to practise those strategies. That is when the learning is consolidated. Spin the wheel again to regenerate another version of this Starter.

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=February8 However it would be better to assign one of the student interactive activities below. |

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