Ratings & comments
Does anyone have a version of this that maps to the newer syllabus wording?
Careful, accurate content — I checked the sources and they hold up. Refreshing for a shared lesson.
Quick note: I swapped the video for a live demo and it worked just as well if you don't have a projector.
