Maths Collaboration

We have started a High Flyer project this term and we are going to do a lot of work on collaboration.

After a big discussion today we came up with this list of what we think collaboration is and what it could mean:

Collaboration means…

• groups
• everyone’s ideas made into 1
• everyone working together on one thing
• putting something together that the whole class (or group) did
• working together and sharing ideas and coming up with something that everyone is happy with
• compromise, teamwork, working together, patience, listening, taking turns

This was our maths today.  We collaborated on some maths problems.  It was trickier typing down our working out than we thought but we gave it a good go.  We worked well in our groups of 2 and 3 but we all have something to work on next time.  We used different strategies but decided that was ok.
