Collaborative learning helps students communicate mathematics with their peers and helps to reinforce concepts they have learned. Working in small groups helps students make connections of concepts and promote discourse. These materials will enhance the cooperative learning environment in my classroom. Students will work in groups using flip charts, sticky notes, and markers to create anchor charts of key concepts. Students will use the materials to create anchor charts as a review of concepts and model mathematical processes. This will help reinforce mathematical concepts while giving them a visual representation of the concept to see in the classroom. Using the large flip charts, students will also have the opportunity to graph figures on a coordinate plane, make conjectures, and apply properties of geometric figures. (G.GPE.B.4, SMP1, SMP3, and SMP4) Keeping students engaged can be difficult. Capturing student interest through the use of competition can go a long way. I will use the tumbling blocks for a review activity at the end of a unit. Students will work in small groups to answer questions from the unit during a specified time. Each block is color coded to match questions from a review list. Students will take turns selecting a block from the tower and answering the associated question. Once the student gets the answer correct they can place the block on the top of their tower. At the end of the activity, the group with the highest tower will win a prize. This activity can be used with any unit using the standards of mathematical practices especially SMP1: Make sense of problems and preserver in solving them.
