60-minute structure: 0-7 Connect & Check; 7-14 Share; 14-25 Present/model; 25-44 Apply route choice/practice; 44-52 independent exam-style check; 52-60 Recall & Review, WWW/EBI and next step.

What Went Well (WWW)

I represented the algebraic structure accurately, kept each transformation valid and checked the result by substitution, graph or equivalent reasoning.

Even Better If (EBI)

I will show the missing inverse operation or algebraic step, keep signs and brackets accurate and test the result in the original relationship.
