Collaborative Learning

A big part of learning math and science is to discuss your ideas with other people and to ask questions, lots of questions.

I have tried to emphasize to our students that asking questions and working together is a strength. It's NOT a weakness to ask someone a question or to need help. It's great when you take control of your learning and talk with someone when you don't understand something. As a teacher, I do it with other teachers all the time.

I took this picture because I was so happy to see that someone had asked for help and to see that the two students were working together to solve a problem. Nice work!


Who is someone you have recently asked for help? In what way did they help you?

    Dear Mr. Pahl,
    I was helping Evyn with comparing fractions on Khan Academy. I’m pretty sure she can tell what fraction is greater than, Less than, or equal too another fraction.

      Dear Liam,
      I didn't do the Art Walk because I wasn't here at the time, but I wish I could've been! It sounds like so much fun, and what a great idea! I wish I could have seen your owl, too.
