THINKING MAPS AND COOPERATIVE LEARNING

Building Thinking Maps in cooperative


teams can be done at any stage of a
lesson: during the set or diagnosis,
instruction, student processing, Students are more actively
closure and assessment. engaged when they work
correctly in cooperative
learning teams.

Working in teams allows students to


orally discuss academic content as
they choose essential ideas and
concepts to go in their maps.

ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Page 258 - 259
Map Maker : The Map Maker is
responsible for getting the materials and
drawing the appropriate map. As the group
develops their ideas, the Map Recorder is
also responsible for writing down the group’s
ideas.

Map Manager : The Map Manager is


responsible for managing the participation of
the group. He/She makes sure that everyone
has a chance to “play” or participate in the
group discussion and that one person does
not dominate the group.
Page 258 - 259

Map Monitor : The Map Monitor makes


sure that the Thinking Map is accurate. It is
the Monitor’s responsibility to make sure that
the map is drawn correctly and that it
represents the correct thought process. (eg.
adjectives and adjective phrases only are
being used in the Bubble Map)

Map Motivator : The Map


Motivator’s job is to make sure that
everyone in the group stays on task.
The Motivator is also responsible for
encouraging and praising the efforts of
an individual or the group.
Page 258 - 259

Map MC (Master of
Ceremonies) : The Map MC is responsible
for presenting the team’s ideas to a larger group
(either the whole class or another team). He/She is
not only responsible for sharing the information the
group put on the map but also the thinking and
discussions that took place as the group developed
the map.

Map Mastermind : The Map Mastermind’s


job is to add a Frame of Reference to the Thinking
Map the group has developed and then ask the group
to reflect on its thinking.

He/She should ask questions to encourage the group


to think about their thinking:
“How do we know what we know?”
“Where did we get our information?”
“What is our point of view” or “What is influencing
our point of view?”
“Why is this information important?”

COOPERATIVE LEARNING STRATEGY


MAP, MOVE, MAP
STEP ONE:
Read the math problem and create a Brace Map
identifying the parts of the problem.
STEP TWO:
Check previous group’s work. Add a Frame of
Reference and identify the mathematical thinking
required to answer the problem.
We need to know how to We could use 10%.
convert % to decimals.

We have to know that this We need some prior knowledge


is a two step problem. about what a “tip” is.
STEP THREE:
Check previous groups’ work. Write a number
sentence or create a strategy to solve the problem.

Change Multiply Add the

decimal. 20 $44.00
STEP FOUR:
Check previous groups’ work. Solve the problem.

Change Multiply Add the


20% to a $44.00 by . tip to

STEP FIVE:

COOPERATIVE LEARNING STRATEGY
CLOSURE
Take some time to meet by grade level or
department in order to plan how you might
use Cooperative Learning in your own
classroom. Try to incorporate one of the
strategies explained on pages 260-267.
Save your students’ work and be prepared to
share their examples at our next follow-up
session.
