Students who normally disengage were arguing about the data by minute ten. I will take that.
Used this with my class last week and it landed perfectly — the pacing is spot on and students stayed engaged the whole time.
I did the same swap. Saved setup time and students were just as engaged.
Noted, I will add a timing warning to the description.
