Gave them the skills of asking someone, go to one they can do.
Maths rotations – collaborative. Did it with a game, they had to take it and play
someone else – explain how to play, model how to play, re-explaining in their own way.
Having it put in their own words – it was more at year level, student friendly language.
They found it more accessible.
They were all able to play the game
Marked the test, class average so far has been 72% in division. Average pre-test was
54%.
They are nicer to each other, and they are directly responsible for each other’s learning
more. Given some students who aren’t leaders in other opportunities (personality
sense) a chance to be a leader, collaboratively see success. Other students value
them, able to access them and rely on them.
Doing collaborative tasks and getting them to do the teaching has given them
ownership of their learning.
Used Dojo tool to select their groups. Initially there was some rhetoric about who was in
their group. Stopped on the second one because they had a purpose.

• Group processing – had a discussion going from the 4 to the pair – how well did
they explain, something I did well, challenge I had.
• Individually accountable – playing the game – if they were able to do it. They
had to learn how to do it to successfully teach it. Demonstrated understanding
of fractions through having to do the test.
• Positive interdependence – GOAL – play and teach the game successfully.
INCENTIVE – Dojo points. RESOURCES – 1 game between them.
SEQUENCE – 4/P/S. OUTSIDE FORCE – timer. ENVIRONMENT – pushed
them into group of 4s.
