They truly helped my students work together and verbally plan how to use them. The magnetic tiles were a hit, my students use them to build, socialize, and communicate with each other. \r\n While using magnetic tiles, they would talk and decide what they were going to build. How they were going to build and how they would start the process. Many times I would have to intervene during heated discussions. I would give them some ideas, but I always let them figure it amoung themselves. \r\n My students were so proud with what they were building, or what ever structure they made.
