Teach

Full-screen slides with keyboards and staves you can tap, so you explain each idea while the class sees and hears it.

Test

Optional test slides after each topic: ten questions, every answer explained, and a score at the end.

In the right order

Every Grade 5 skill, each building on the ones before, in the same order your students practise in the Skill Builder.

In the room or online

Present from your laptop to a screen or share it on a video call. Arrow keys and a presentation clicker both work.
