Hi @Faithe01, just so you know, I'm only looking at one lesson for each applicant. The reasons are listed in other feedback messages I've sent.

For your first doc, I sort of understand your points, but some notes:

It seems that usage of commas vs spaces to offset groups-of-3 is different in different countries. We originally had commas but changed our mind and decided to go with no punctuation instead, since in some European countries commas are used for the decimal point! So just letting you know that this was a deliberate decision.
For the second row, we do assume counting as a prerequisite. What would you change exactly? Pretend you are in charge of editing the lesson to be more accessible; use the third column to state exactly what you would do (no need to editorialize).
For the third row, I agree with "arcade" being a foreign concept. However, using maize doesn't really connect with the rest of the story at all, so you might need to find a suggestion to make the lesson more accessible that doesn't involve rewriting the entire lesson from scratch. Also, if a student hasn't encountered a concept, but it's motivated well, they might be able to fill in the gaps with their imagination; perhaps that could help you find a middle ground here.

I hope these ideas are useful. Thanks for your submission.
