2. COOPERATIVE LEARNING
 When students are provided with opportunities to
interact with each other in a variety of ways their
learning is enhanced. These activities support the
ideas that there should be a variety of criteria to
group students; that there should be
formal, informal and base groups and that the size
of learning groups should be continually monitored.

3. INTERACTIVE INSTRUCTION
 Interactive instruction relies heavily on discussion
and sharing among participants. Students can learn
from peers and teachers to develop social skills and
abilities, to organize their thoughts, and to develop
rational arguments.

4. INTERACTIVE INSTRUCTION (CON’T)
 The interactive instruction strategy allows for a
range of groupings and interactive methods. It is
important for the teacher to outline the topic, the
amount of discussion time, the composition and
size of the groups, and reporting or sharing
techniques. Interactive instruction requires the
refinement of
observation, listening, interpersonal, and
intervention skills and abilities by both teacher and
students.

5. INTERACTIVE INSTRUCTION (CON’T)
 The success of the interactive instruction strategy
and its many methods is heavily dependent upon
the expertise of the teacher in structuring and
developing the dynamics of the group.

6. CRITERIA FOR EFFECTIVE COOPERATIVE
LEARNING GROUPS INCLUDE:
 Students understand that their membership in a
learning group means that they either succeed or
fail—together. (Deutsch, 1962).”
 Positive interdependence" includes mutual
goals, joint rewards, resource interdependence
(each group member has different resources that
must be combined to complete the
assignment), and role interdependence (each group
member is assigned a specific role).

7. CRITERIA FOR EFFECTIVE COOPERATIVE
LEARNING GROUPS INCLUDE (CON’T):
 Students help each other learn and encourage
individual team members' success.
 Individuals in the group understand that they are
accountable to each other and to the group as a
distinct unit.
 Interpersonal and small-group skills are in
place, including communication, decision
making, conflict resolution, and time management.
 Members are aware of the group's processes.
Individual members talk about "the group" as a
unique entity.

8. APPLYING INTERACTIVE INSTRUCTION
 Content: Math
 Subject: Geometry
 Grade Level: 1st Grade
 Lesson Objective: 1st Grade students will
recognize the following two-dimensional shapes:
triangle, rhombus, parallelogram, trapezoid and
hexagon They will combine triangles to form those
shapes 90% accuracy within one class period.

9. APPLYING INTERACTIVE INSTRUCTION (CON’T)
 Sunshine State Standards: MACC.1.G.1.2:
Compose two-dimensional shapes
(rectangle, squares, trapezoids, triangles, half-
circle, and quarter-circles) or three-dimensional
shapes (cubes, right rectangular prisms, right
circular cones, and right circular cylinders) to create
a composite shape, and compose new shapes from
the composite shape.

10. APPLYING INTERACTIVE INSTRUCTION(CON’T)
 Overview:Practice combine triangles to form new
shapes. Work in group of three. Each group will
come up with four different shapes and two same
types of shapes with different size that are
composed with triangles. Trace the outline of all six
shapes on the same piece of paper and write the
name of each shape next to the shape you made
and the number of triangle within that shape. The
first group to finish composing triangles into four
different shapes and two same type of shapes with
different size then draw the outline of all shapes
with the name next to it is the winner. This group
will have the opportunity to explain how they form
the shapes.
