About the Teacher Guide.

This guide is intended to help you as you navigate the lessons through each Unit. It is basically the same as the Student Guide only we have tried to include extra resources that can help you cater for students who are at a lower level and for students who can do more.

At the end of each lesson table below, you will find a word document with the Outcomes that you might want to work on in class.
