Tell me if you can relate?!
Its a Tuesday morning and you’re running late. Last night you spent the entire night making dinner, doing baths with your kids and making lunches for the next day. The last thing you had time for was to create an engaging lesson for your students the next day. So, on your way to work you’re thinking of different things you can do with your class today. You get to work and search in Google “linear equation worksheet”, find one that SEEMS ok and you make 120 copies. You’re not feeling great about it because in 2023 we know there are much better ways to have students practice than our traditional worksheets.
