Notes et commentaires
Students who normally disengage were arguing about the data by minute ten. I will take that.
Great question — I ran it with 28 and just added a third station to keep group sizes down. Worked fine.
How long does the setup actually take? Trying to work out if it fits a single period.
The assessment rubric alone was worth it. I have reused it across three other lessons since.
