Implementing Geometrical Tasks – Some Possible Scenarios

Abstract

On the one hand, the task above was designed to be implemented in a group so that the child has a chance to show his or her friends what was found and to explain this finding. On the other hand, Nadine is an impatient child. It is hard for her to wait for her turn. Or, maybe she is an enthusiastic child. She also wants to join in and the teacher at this point is only paying attention to Pam. Would you say that the above task was designed to be implemented with an individual or with a group? It is hard to tell. Would you implement this task with an individual or with a group? Perhaps it depends on the age of the children or on the specific circumstances of that day’s routine.
