    Solid lesson. A couple of the materials were hard to source on short notice, but everything else was excellent.

      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.

    Ran it twice this term with very different groups and it held up both times. That is rare.
