Learning in Groups
I think the activity that we did Monday in class (03/21/2011), with the groups. I liked that we paired up with different classmates instead of working with the classmates that we sit by everyday. In the groups, we were handed out worksheets with improper fraction problems on them. I did not understand the homework at all the night before. However, when I got through with the group activity I knew how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide the improper fractions. It helped hearing from a classmate how to work the improper fraction problems. My group really did participate and help me out where I was struggling on the problems. I believe this is an activity that I will do with my class in my future teaching career.

Yea. It was good to interact with different people in our class. I think we need to do that more often, because sometimes we are more comfortable talking to our peers than to our teacher.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree. When working with peers, it makes it more comfortable to ask questions that we don't understand. I didn't understand the homework sheet either, and especially with the borrowing, but when we got in groups it helped a lot.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree because we are working with people whom we can relate to it makes it easier to relax asking each questions. I enjoyed the group assignment and this will definitely be implementing GROUP WORK in my classroom.
ReplyDeleteI truly enjoy working in groups. It was an pleasant experience for me also since the people in your group were willing to teach you what they knew, willing to do what was required, and listen to what you had to say. It was an experience that everyone in the group could take more positives away, a win-win situation. I too will surely use this method in my classroom.
