During math time, the students are given opportunities to become the teacher. During these times they go in front of the class or small group and explain how they answered a particular problem. Sometimes they are acting like a teacher while working with one partner. We've discussed how asking each other questions can lead to a better understanding for us all. Also, if a student is able to clearly explain how they solved a math problem that shows that he/she has a deeper understanding of that particular math concept. Brayden was our first whole group math teacher today. He did a fantastic job.
Way to go Brayden!
