Formula Matching

Put students into small groups of 4-5 students. Provide each group with ONE worksheet that lists relevant formulas in one column and sample word problems in the other column.

  1. As a group, they work to match the formulas with the correct word problem.
  2. Once the group feels confident, they will ask the SI Leader to come check that their matching is correct.
  3. If it’s correct, the SI will then assign the group one of the word problems from the sheet to complete as a group.
  4. After all groups have completed matching and successfully solved their assigned word problem, a representative from each group will come up to the front and either (a) complete the steps of the problem on the board and explain it to the class or (b) place their worksheet with the solution on the Document Camera and walk through what their group did for the class.
