Classes that work together succeed together—and isn’t that every teacher’s goal?
- Effectively use group work to create a learning environment in the secondary mathematics classroom
- Learn how students experience learning mathematics in collaborative settings
- Develop tasks, concepts, strategies, and tools that create successful group work and reach students of all abilities
Written by a seasoned teacher, researcher and teacher educator with over
two decades of teaching experience, the goal of this book is to support
teachers in developing tools for effective group work in their
secondary mathematics classrooms. Effective group work engages
children’s own thinking and allows them to work together to understand a
concept. It can also address problems that often arise in typical
mathematics instruction by providing a framework for teachers to create
engaging learning environments. The book outlines ways to choose tasks,
help students adjust to new ways of approaching schoolwork, and
discusses the types of status problems that can impede the most earnest
attempts at collaborative learning. This practical, useful book
introduces tested tools and concepts for creating equitable
collaborative learning environments that supports all students and
develops confidence in their mathematical ability.
