Instructional Ideas

Classroom Considerations

  • Pupils need to complete parts of the lesson before the main task

Pros

  • Contains solutions and explanations
  • Teacher guide includes pacing suggestions

Cons

  • Learners may find parts of the context confusing, especially why Lara has to pay even though her mother is the one driving
