How it works
Put up any of the ten fact slides. Read the fact aloud as a plain statement, without giving any hints.
Ask the class: true or false? A show of hands is all you need. Let a few students explain their reasoning before you reveal anything; the guessing is half the fun.
The answer appears on the slide with a one-line “why”. Then ask students what they’d like to find out next.

Ten facts are built into the slides, each with a click-to-reveal answer, and the resource pack holds ten more for when you run out. The closing slide asks students to bring in a mystery fact of their own.
