Teaching tips & learning objectives

Teaching tips

  • Replace the twenty-four placeholders with real names before the first use — the labels Student 1 to Student 24 exist to be overwritten

  • The layout is two columns of twelve, so a class larger than twenty-four needs the columns extended or a second copy of the slide

  • Because it is a single slide, it can be left open as the first thing on the board each morning rather than opened and closed for each use

  • Names appear in the order they are typed, so entering them alphabetically or by table group decides how fast a child finds their own on the board

Skills covered

  • Daily attendance routine — the teacher replaces twenty-four placeholders with the class list and runs the register from the board under the question "Are You In School Today?".

  • Interactive whiteboard setup — the file is one editable slide, so the name list is maintained in place instead of being reprinted each term.

  • Class-list management — names sit in two columns of twelve, and the order they are entered sets how the board reads to the class.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

How many students does the slide hold?

Twenty-four, laid out as two columns of twelve. A larger class needs the columns extended or a second copy of the slide, since the layout is fixed at that count as supplied.

Are the names on the slide fixed?

No — they are placeholders. The slide arrives with the labels Student 1 through Student 24 in place, and the teacher types the class's own names over them before the first use.
