Understand why the whole class rehearses with the same data before the independent project begins.
Lessons 1-6 taught you the pricing logic — markup, margin, break-even, Goal Seek, and sensitivity tables. Lesson 07 shows what a complete, project-ready workbook should look like before your team starts building its own scenario in Lessons 8-10.
Today, the whole class uses the same business case: PedalFast Bike Repair. That is intentional. When everyone works from the same data, you can compare reasoning quality, evidence chains, and workbook clarity directly — instead of wondering whether a different scenario explains a weak recommendation.
This is rehearsal, not the real project
Today's workbook is a guided-practice version. In Lessons 8-10, your group will receive a different business scenario and its own starter workbook. The structure stays the same — only the data changes.
What today is
- A guided rehearsal with one shared workbook
- A model of what the project should include
- A chance to practice auditing and explaining your results
- High teacher guidance — you are practicing the standard, not inventing it
What comes next
- Lessons 8-10 give each group a different scenario
- Teams reuse this workbook structure independently
- The final project adds presentation and defense
- Teacher guidance drops — your team owns the quality
1. Why is Lesson 07 useful before the group project begins?
2. What should students learn from the shared PedalFast workbook?
3. What changes when your group starts the real project in Lesson 08?
If a teacher or investor opened your workbook for only 30 seconds, what would they need to understand immediately?
- Where would they look first?
- What numbers would prove your recommendation?
- What would make the workbook feel confusing or weak?
By the end of today, you should be able to answer:
- What must every project workbook include?
- Where does the recommendation come from?
- What evidence proves the recommendation is reasonable?
- What would make this artifact feel weak or untrustworthy?
- What parts of today's structure must my team recreate independently?
