Group Work in Math

Group work allows people to complete more work than one person can do alone. This project is perfect for group work because a whole unit needed to be explained. Having a group also allows for more creative work, because the group can brainstorm unique ideas. Occasionally, if a group does not communicate there can be a conflict, and less work will be completed.

I know the group is working well together when I see people using class time efficiency. Examples of where I communicate clearly and purposefully can be seen in the first day of the project. I set aside time to discuss ideas on how to do the project, and divided the work. I show others that I truly value their contributions by looking over their work, giving suggestions and complimenting their work. If I notice that all the work has not been completed, that’s a sign that my group needs help and we did not divide the work evenly and I need to do more work
