Bewertungen & Kommentare
Students who normally disengage were arguing about the data by minute ten. I will take that.
Yes! The materials tab has a printable. Look under the practice phase.
That is a fair point about the sourcing — I have listed two substitutes in the materials now.
I did the same swap. Saved setup time and students were just as engaged.
Careful, accurate content — I checked the sources and they hold up. Refreshing for a shared lesson.
Beautifully sequenced. The misconceptions listed in the teacher notes were exactly the ones my class walked in with.
The wrap-up prompt produced the best written responses I have had from this class all year.
Thanks, this is really helpful feedback.
Noted, I will add a timing warning to the description.
