Resources for using Flex Units

Here are some of the most current, useful resources we have for using the Flex units.  

Not sure if Flex is right for you? Read this post on SOMOS Original or SOMOS Flex?.

General tips:

1. Read the directions that are given for the students and change them if they don’t work for you or your context!  
2. Keep everything as SIMPLE as possible.  
3. Consider lesson planning by bullet points. (Note: the example is not for Flex, but the idea is the same!)
