Cooperative Learning--Jigsaw Ø Groups of five students are assigned new material to learn and then teach to his group members. Students across the class working on the same sub-section work together to learn. Afterwards, students in the “expert” groups return to the original group to teach other.

Cooperative Learning—Think-Pair. Share Ø Individuals think silently about a question posed. Partners share thoughts, and then share with other pairs, or the class.

Cooperative Learning-Brainstorming Ø Class is divided into small groups, with one person appointed as the recorder. A question is posed. After think time, members share responses as recorder writes them down.

Cooperative Learning—Three Minute Review Ø During discussion, teacher stops and gives teams 3 minutes to review what has been said, ask questions, or answer questions.

Cooperative Learning—Numbered Heads Together Ø Teams are established, and each member is given a number. Teams work together to answer a question. Teacher calls out a number (three) and each three is asked to give the answer.

Cooperative Learning—Circle the Sage Ø Teacher polls the class to find out which students thoroughly understood the new learning. These students (sages) spread out in the room and explain the concepts to 2 or 3 students, who then return to their group and compare notes.
