Oceny i komentarze
Beautifully sequenced. The misconceptions listed in the teacher notes were exactly the ones my class walked in with.
The extension is optional in the plan, but I mark it for the students who choose it.
I did the same swap. Saved setup time and students were just as engaged.
Does anyone have a version of this that maps to the newer syllabus wording?
Yes! The materials tab has a printable. Look under the practice phase.
Thanks, this is really helpful feedback.
Please do share the translation, that would help a lot of us.
Not a perfect fit for my curriculum, but adapting it took twenty minutes instead of an evening.
Totally agree, the wrap-up is the strongest part.
Same here — back-to-back is the way to go.
Setup was about ten minutes for me once the materials were out on the bench.
Glad it was useful. Let me know how the series goes.
