“This kit provides a good variety of tasks that can be incorporated in a unit plan to help consolidate learning of compound interest. The tasks allow for differentiation of learning and flexibility of lessons. Teachers need to spend a reasonable amount of time getting to know the resources, how they work and then incorporate these into wider unit plan.”
