• 1 highlighted callouts
• A multi-column layout

Using and adapting it

The structure already matches what has to be handed in, so leave the section names alone — what needs writing is the activities and the guiding questions. The move that saves whole evenings: once the first lesson of a unit is done, duplicate it for the rest, because the objectives and preparation barely change. The callout blocks separate what the teacher does from what the class does, so a glance tells you which step you are on.

Common questions

Can I shorten the section names?

Better not to. The section frame is what gets signed off, so shortening a heading only makes work at submission. What needs writing is the activities and the guiding questions.

What is the fastest way to do a whole unit?

Write the first lesson, then duplicate it for the rest: objectives, equipment and materials barely change within a unit. This saves more than every other trick combined.

Do I need to know LaTeX to use this template?

No. You edit it like an ordinary document — type, drag blocks, insert formulas from a visual keyboard. LaTeX only runs underneath to set the page, and you can still export the source if you want it.
