Look at this mess! BUT.....here's learning in action!
Students in 7th grade math had a task: build a tall tower. That was it. No other directions. No other facilitation. Given a short period of time, students had to analyze, discuss and solve the problem. And, the result was a better understanding of problem-solving and integrated science concepts.
Each PLC member chose their own way to teach the concept; in the below classroom, stations (You know I love those!)were used to incorporate this activity as well as nitty gritty, must do details in an engaging and sytematic way.
Station: Building the tower Station: Getting their data tracking sheets ready
Station: Getting their math books Station: Practicing white board use and math problems
Station: Practicing using math measurement tools
