Education Corner: Silent Signals in the Math Classroom
We all know how important participation -"Most of the students, most of the time" - is to student learning. In addition to all of the great covert strategies ( e.g. Make a mental list..., Close your eyes and picture..., In your head..., Take a minute, etc.) teaching students overt silent signals is a great way to keep students interacting with the lesson.
3rd and 4th graders making iMovies! Great collaboration!
