Teamwork in grade 9

Our task was to circle all the numbers from 1-100 in order.

It took a really long time working individually.

We tried the same activity in groups next.  We had groups of 5 and also 4.

We noticed that if 4 were in the group, a pattern emerged.

Once we saw the pattern, we could make a better plan or strategy to approach the task.  Some groups found that standing up helped.

We rearranged ourselves and furniture, and made our process more efficient.  We can do that sometimes with practice.

We did a brainstorm about what good collaboration looks like, sounds like, and feels like.
