Chelle's Math Blog: Cooperative Learning in Math

Cooperative learning may look like two students reading back and forth together to work with each other. This could help with the students who are struggling with words; both students can help each other. Another way would be two students working on some math problems together so they can talk to each other to figure out the way to come up with an answer and to come up with the answer itself.

Cooperative learning is students working with students. This helps because students are all about the same age and they usually will work well with each other, group work. Some of the ways students can do cooperative learning for math is categorizing, co-op, roundtable, and math stations. Categorizing is working on things in small groups such as dividing objects by even, odd, prime numbers. Co-op is students working on a specific topic. This could be working on a worksheet together. Roundtable is where the students get a worksheet and each student works on one of the lists of problems. Math stations are where students will rotate to different stations in the room that are geared to math.
