Practical group exercises

At the beginning of the class students are divided into teams and a list of exercises is distributed to the groups. Each group will solve one in breakout rooms. The teacher will go around along the groups (tutoring still). If one group has one student that easily solved it, that student will tutor the rest. At the end, one student per group will write the resolution in the whiteboard in zoom. While this happens, the teacher continues, always, to go around (tutoring style).

Aim

To increase the number of exercises made in class, increase the capacity to work in group, use the collaboration of good students, increase the proximity (tutoring)

Note

The teacher must not be apart from the work. They have to go around all the time and interact with the groups according to their ability to solve the exercise.
