I stick to this in my classroom and it is wonderful. Number 1’s are the “leaders” and top of the class. Students should really be ranked in each group. I love being able to say a number and they can answer the question, or go to do something. This way, I can call on all number 3’s to do something in the classroom. I number my students 1,2,3,4 (sometimes 5) in each Cooperative Learning group. I think 4 is a wonderful group size, perfect to pair off or work as a whole group. Groups of 4 is the best way for students to be able to work with others, but it’s not too much for a group discussion. Now, if you don’t have a perfect amount, an extra group of 3 or 5 isn’t bad.
In your classroom you should really only have groups of 4 students. It includes everything you need to know, along with step-by-step directions for all structures.
