During PD on Wednesday, we identified the importance of using instructional strategies to increase student engagement. For the next few weeks, I will be sharing instructional strategies in the blog as a resource. We briefly discussed Value Line/Fold the Line during our time together. This strategy is typically used for social studies, science, and ELA topics, but can be modified for math. To implement this strategy, follow the directions below.
1. Present students with an issue or topic.
2. Ask students to position themselves in a physical line from
those who "strongly agree" to those who "strongly disagree"
in response to the topic.
3. Form groups by folding the line in half so that students with
the most dissimilar levels of agreement are now paired up.
4. Provide time for group members to share their reasons for their perspective.
To simplify this strategy, you could pose
only two options. This would work for discussing ways to solve math problems or
any topic where students either agree or disagree.
Watch it in action below.
