Bingo

Use your interactive white board to play Maths bingo with your students. If you use the printable bingo books provided for this resource the program can instantly check which numbers have been called on which book and provide a picture of that book with the appropriate numbers marked, saving time when a student calls Bingo!
The answers can be hidden by the cover so that the questions can be delivered visually on the interactive whiteboard.
In response to the request in the comments Bingo version 2 is now on-line. This operates on a timer basis. Choose 5 0r 10 second intervals. Click pause to stop new questions appearing. Click the 5 or 10 second buttons to continue. All else works the same. The original is still here in case of problems with the new version or if you just prefer it.

Is it possible for me to change the questions but leave the answers the same? If not is there a way of knowing what the answers are so that I can call out an appropriate question to ensure the books can be checked correctly through the programme?

Hi, thank you for your question.
Your question has pre-empted something I’m starting to prepare for a few of the resources. Unfortunately Flash applications, for security reasons, don’t allow users to save information so its not possible for a user to directly do this.
However, I’ve written Bingo to have an easily modifiable question list, even for a non-programmer. What I am going to do is make the part of the program with the questions in available for users to take and modify the questions. These can be resubmitted to me, I’ll incorporate them in the program and post on the web with an acknowledgement to the question writer. My hope is that programs such as bingo will have a number of themed banks of questions to varying difficulty levels. The problem for me is that it takes a long time to write out 90 questions for each bank. I hope that users will ease this burden and be happy to share with others.
I will have instructions for doing this added to this post in the next day or so. I hope this is something you would be happy to do and use.
Thanks, Spencer

You spurred me into getting this done. So see above for the links.

Would it be possible to have the question coming across the screen at regular intervals that we could preset eg 5 seconds, 10 seconds. So I could just leave it running say whilst I was doing the register.
Thanks for the great resources

Thanks for the suggestion. Someone else suggested this as well. I’ll take that as overwhelming demand and try and implement that.
By the way, for regular users who have noticed one of the questions had a decimal answer, so was clearly wrong, that’s been fixed.

Timed version now available. How’s that for service? Other suggestions on any of the resources will be considered.
