Using the timer on your whiteboard

Choose a step from the list and the correct paper time is set for you. Press Full screen and the timer fills the board, with numbers big enough to read from the back of the room. In full screen the board shows only times, never a step or a year group, so children working at different steps all see the same thing. Use Change time at the top of the board to switch between groups without leaving full screen.

With the sound on, the Beat That! jingle plays first and the board counts down to the start. Press Skip intro to start straight away, or turn the sound off for a silent timer. When time is up, press Start again for the next group. The space bar starts and pauses the timer, and Esc leaves full screen.
