GETTING STARTED<\/b><\/p>\n
Overview<\/span>: \u00a0Students will work in small teams\u00a0to complete a Jigsaw II Activity. \u00a0For this lesson students will become \u201cexperts\u201d on different exponent rules and then help their other group members also become experts.<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Size of the teams<\/span>: \u00a04-5 students per team<\/span><\/li>\n
- Assigning students to teams<\/span>: \u00a0Students will be placed into teams based on teacher knowledge of the student and (1) who they have not worked with before, and (2) what teams\u00a0of students will help to push each other deeper in understanding. \u00a0(Same teams\u00a0as Lesson 1)<\/span><\/li>\n
- Team building exercise<\/span>: Completed in Lesson 1<\/span><\/li>\n
- Room Arrangement<\/span>: \u00a0Students will sit at square tables with their group members (facing each other encourages student discourse and collaboration).<\/span><\/li>\n
- Planning materials to promote interdependence<\/span>:<\/span>\n
\n- Materials interdependence: \u00a0laptops, internet access for videos<\/span><\/li>\n
- Information interdependence: notes and activities for proving and practicing exponential rules.<\/span><\/li>\n
- Interdependence with other teams: \u00a0students become experts by working with other students who are also becoming experts on the same exponent rule (these are their expert teams) and then report back and share new information to their learning team. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
CONDUCTING THE ACTIVITY<\/b><\/p>\n\n- Assigning roles to ensure interdependence<\/span>\n
\n- Each student will choose to become an expert on one of the following topics:<\/span>\n
\n- Adding\/Subtracting with Exponents<\/span><\/li>\n
- Multiplying & Dividing with Exponents<\/span><\/li>\n
- \u201cPower of 0 Property\u201d and \u201cNo Negatives\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
- Power to a Power<\/span><\/li>\n
- Product\/Quotient to a Power<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Explaining the academic task<\/span>: \u00a0Students will be told that the focus of the activity is to work together as a team to build understanding of exponent rules.<\/span>\n
\n- Students will each choose one of the expert topics and work within expert teams to complete an expert sheet. \u00a0This will help students better understand the topic through watching instructional videos (youtube or Khan Academy), working on example problems, discovering proofs, and checking their progress with the instructor. \u00a0Expert Sheets Linked Here<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n
- After students feel confident with their understanding and have checked in with their instructor, each expert will come up with a \u201cmini lesson\u201d to help members of their learning teams understand their exponent rule. \u00a0<\/span>Students will be encouraged to use various teaching methods. They can demonstrate a problem using examples, helping students understand the proofs behind the exponent rules, they can use technology, or they can illustrate their ideas with diagrams.<\/span><\/li>\n
- After students have had time to teach their mini-lessons, the teacher will lead a whole-class discussion, answer student questions, and go over some example problems (asking for student participation).<\/span>\n
\n- During the whole-class discussion, the teacher may want to show the following youtube video for students to connect their understanding.<\/li>\n
