In a reversal of the traditional role of a mathematics teacher , I have given a brief lecture ( if needed ) , and then asked the groups to do reading and work on their assignments. A portion or sometimes an entire class period were used for group inside – classroom activities. My task was to move among the groups to provide assistance.
The three Pilot Sections met twice a week ; two Sections on Tuesday and Thursday , and one on Monday and Wednesday for 75 minutes per session.
