My Project

I believe that students learn best when they are comfortable with the people around them and the classroom setup. In math, they need extra comfortability, especially when I do small groups. Small group work on a comfortable floor mat arranged in a carpet circle can significantly enhance student engagement and collaboration. By seating students in this manner, I can create an inclusive and relaxed environment that fosters active participation and encourages open communication among group members.

This setup allows me to facilitate discussions easily, monitor progress, and provide individualized support while promoting a sense of community and teamwork.
