I'm keen to teach to a need - it's not against the rules to use your intuition when you can, and use it to propel students towards the algebraic method. |

Thanks for providing the impetus and encouragement to try a new approach. I look forward to teaching the rest of the topic with my students and seeing their understanding develop. |

The Need-Levels-Choice approach is great! It empowered my students to take charge of their learning and makes a huge difference to their engagement and performance. Equations is one of those units that could go either way - students may enjoy it or not. However, I found implementing the Need-Levels-Choice built the confidence and independence in students that we educators are desperately trying to achieve.
