Workshop 2: Check the Clues - Cooperative Group Problem Solving Cards for Mathematics (45 minuites)
A hands-on, 45 minuite familiarisation workshop, will enable teachers to use this cooperative learning teaching strategy. The tasks are all linked to the Australian Curriculum and provide teachers with the language used, what may be done prior to and after using the activities, and comes with the answers too.
