Selecting Group Sizes for Co-Teaching

Welcome to our Quick Decision Group Size Selector activity for co-teachers! In the next 2-3 minutes, you'll practice choosing optimal group sizes for different classroom scenarios, considering factors like space, materials, and learning objectives. Each scenario presents a unique teaching situation, and your task is to select the most effective group size while keeping in mind that 2-3 students work best for intensive practice, 3-4 for collaborative learning, and 4-5 for project-based activities.
