User Comments

Some of the handouts have mistakes in the questions. I believe the questions about the story about Jose have mixed-up Step 3 and Step 5. Please review.

Hi Jennifer, Thanks for your diligence. As it happens, we just revised these materials earlier in the week and are confident that they are error free. That the question about Step 5 precedes the question about Step 3 is just another way of having students think about sequence.
