Working...
Students in 7th grade math learned what the features of good group work looks like through the math activity 100 Numbers.
In the beginning some students were not totally involved. However, through discussion of the task and their own understanding of strategies they all became engaged and supporting of the groups.
At the conclusion of the activity class discussion led to a student generated list of what group work looks like and sounds like. Following is the list they created.
- All group members work together and are FOCUSED.
- Group members have heads together.
- Everyone participates.
- Everyone is working on the assigned task.
- Group members discuss a plan before beginning the task.
- Everyone is communicating with each other in an appropriate voice.
- You have support from your group members and help each other out.
