  1. Welcome SEATING INSTRUCTIONS • Please get a card from Val or Brian. • Sit with colleagues who receive a card with the same number. • We will begin at 9:00.

  2. Delaware Math CoalitionCohort 2 – How do I get groups to work? 18 feb 2014

  3. Homework Discussion Allow each group member to lead discussion for approximately 5 minutes. • First, describe what you did for homework. What were you curious to find out? • Then, describe what you did to investigate / test this interest. • What data to you collect to analyze the results of your teaching experiment? Please show this to your group members. • Discuss what you learned, insight, new ideas, next steps (either taken, or you hope to implement). What are you wondering now?

  4. New Normal Cohort 2 Support teachers who wish to build a classroom culture that supports more powerful and productive content-focused mathematics discussions by: • Developing insights about how the nature and content of the task promotes or in some cases inhibits student discussions; • Increasing the use of accountable talk and research-based discourse moves. As such, teachers will create a classroom climate where students build upon each others’ ideas and respectively question and debate one another; and • Considering ways to position students to engage in more mathematically productive small group and whole group discussions.

  6. Small Groups For successful group work, members must learn to recognize and respond to needs of others. Each member must learn to recognize that they are part of an interdependent group.

  7. Small Groups Those expectations seem to be quite different from conventional classroom behavior & necessary for successful cooperative learning. We’ll consider an activity that can help you to develop these norms: Broken Circles. Instructions and suggested discussion are from the developers of Broken Circles, Nancy & Ted Graves (1985). Broken Circles is based on the Broken Squares game invented by Alex Bavelas (1973).

  8. Small Groups Norms: PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT OTHERGROUP MEMBERS NEED NO ONE IS DONE UNTILEVERYONEIS DONE

  9. Broken Circles • No talking. • No pointing or other hand signals. • Each player puts together his or her own circle. • No taking, only giving; one piece at a time.

  10. Broken Circles Discussion • What do you think this exercise was all about? • How do you feel about what happened in your group today? • What things did you do in your group that helped you to be successful in solving the problem? • What things did you do that made it harder? • What could the groups do better in the future?
