Participants will learn and practice Group-Work Strategies. Many of the strategies I use come from the CPM curriculum, some are from other various sources and some I wrote myself. Currently I have 50. In this course, we will cover the top twelve. The remaining will be listed on my website and reviewed on a weekly basis.
It is well-established that students learn better in groups. These strategies will make the experience more effective and more enjoyable.
Here are a few examples:
- Gallery Walk – Students take a minute to walk around and see each others’ work. The they return and continue their work.
- The Great Debate – Two groups are chosen that have differing solutions to explain why their solution is better.
- Impersonation – One group presents another groups work as if it were their own.
- Think-Ink-Pair-Share – Students work a problem, write it down, pair with their shoulder partner and then share with the group.
- Swap Meet – one or two students swap groups in order to share ideas
- Troubled Twins – Find someone with a different answer or solution than yours. Determine which is better.
- Board meeting – Students present their White Board solutions to the class
- Musical Boards – Groups rotate to the next board and Continue their solution without changing their work.
