What educators are saying
First of all, worth the money for everything this unit incudes. It's thorough and very helpful. I especially like that the unit task are chunked by chapters. I am currently in the middle of this unit and this has been a lifesaver for my regular 12 students who often struggle.
My students loved using this resource! They were engaged in the resource and had no trouble getting started. This saved me a lot of prep time, so it was easy for me to use it. I adapted it to fit to my students needs and it was a success!
Thank you very much!!
