Editable jig-saw activity template. Try it with your students today. Assign 2 problems to each group of students (3-4) and assign roles to hold them accountable.

I needed a way to get my students engaged in learning and take more autonomy in the classroom so I created this handout that allows students to reflect on how they worked in their "math teams" and self-assess their work. At the end of the month, the math team with most 5's or stars earned a prize. So far it has been working so keep our fingers crossed! Try it for yourself.

Great resource for introducing multi-step problems to your students. This handout uses a problem solving organizer where students need to think about what the question is, what they know from the problem and how they will solve the problem. Includes 4 challenge problems at the end of the handout. Try it out!
