Teaching notes
The value of a wheel here is equal participation, not the animation. Everyone answers every question, so you see the whole class rather than the fastest hand. Keep the pace brisk — around ten seconds per question — and note the facts that caused hesitation to revisit next lesson.
Optional
Want to keep your changes?
This template is free to use and edit. If you adapt it for your class and want it back next lesson — your names, your passage, your sounds — save it to your Free Classroom Tools Plus workspace and reopen it on any device.

Can I make the wheel spin for longer?
