I saw my students coaching the struggling students before moving on. It was awesome to watch!

The interesting thing is that I had one class with ~24 students working in groups of 3-4, and another class of 9, working in groups of 2-3.

How long does it take your students to work out the 10 problems?Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10632549175296267400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1091979517567705761.post-54398998425457522922015-09-25T16:38:20.822-05:002015-09-25T16:38:20.822-05:00Yes, I too would like to know how you explain frac...Yes, I too would like to know how you explain fractions so that it is understood so well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16421827279993336329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1091979517567705761.post-32042199928067489162015-09-25T13:26:40.532-05:002015-09-25T13:26:40.532-05:00I'm curious.
