Cooperative Arithmetic
Discover how to teach math as a social activity. View “Cooperative Arithmetic,” an online video in which a master teacher establishes a cooperative learning environment for teaching mathematics in an upper-elementary classroom. In addition to a narrative that explains the thinking behind the five overlapping constructs demonstrated in the video (professional planning and reflection, climate and community, direct instruction, infusion, and student reflection and self-assessment), the site offers free downloadable lesson ideas, teaching procedures and student self-evaluation rubrics.
