Write to submit:

Next week, we have a guest speaker, Matilde Lopez, a teacher who uses Complex Instruction every day in her high school math classroom. Write three questions that arise from your reading of Cohen and/or Khisty that you’d like to ask Maty when she comes. These 3 questions should be things you really want to know but should also reflect that you did the readings!
