Solid lesson. A couple of the materials were hard to source on short notice, but everything else was excellent.
Would this work a year group down with more scaffolding, or is the reading level too high?
Students who normally disengage were arguing about the data by minute ten. I will take that.
That is a fair point about the sourcing — I have listed two substitutes in the materials now.
The extension is optional in the plan, but I mark it for the students who choose it.
