Do So

There are many reasons for students to work in small groups in any class, but when the focus is on teaching them a language, the need to do so, multiplies. During my time as a teacher and teacher trainer, I have heard many reasons why teachers do not want to use group work, and it seems to boil down to a feeling of being unable to control the class. Fortunately, my first few years of teaching were in a program where small-group and whole class interactions were expected. Small classes gave students many opportunities to practice the target language and receive feedback from their peers and instructors.

Math by the Month: Stupendous Structures

Mathematical Justification

The “Math by the Month” activities are designed to engage students to think like mathematicians. Students may work on the activities individually or in small groups, or they may be used with the whole class as problems of the week. No solutions are suggested so that students will look to themselves for mathematical justification, thereby developing the confidence to validate their work.

“Math by the Month” activities are designed to engage students to think as mathematicians do. Students may work on the activities individually or in small groups, or the whole class may use them as problems of the week. No solutions are suggested, so students look to themselves for mathematical justification and develop confidence to validate their work. Children are fascinated by the idea of finding hidden treasure. This month, the context of the mathematics problems is finding and creating different treasures. Students will use patterns, measurement, number sense, and logic to solve engaging problems that lead them to interesting and often unexpected answers.

Primary Focus

To encourage students to “identify, describe, compare, and classify geometric figures” (NCTM 1989, 112), I have developed materials and activities that involve sorting polygons. Although teachers can adapt these activities for students at various levels, they are particularly appropriate for the middle schooler. I have designed them for use in small groups, with whole-class discussion at the conclusion. Although geometric properties and definitions are the primary focus, various forms of the activities also encourage reasoning, communication, and measurement. These simple and inexpensive materials can be used for extensions involving probability and statistics as well.
