The Glendale 1st grade participated in a cooperative learning activity on problem solving. The carousel strategy was used. What is the carousel strategy??? It is where the students move around the room in a circle participating in an activity at each location. Or it is when a piece of work is passed in a circle around a table for students to work collaboratively on.
In this example, each group made up a word problem. Then, the groups rotated around the room and solved each word problem. They continued going around the room until each group answered each question. At the end, the students gathered on the carpet to look at all the work and make conclusions.
nice!
