Reply To: Lesson 8-4: Making Connections Through Problem Based Lessons – Discussion

I really appreciated the linking cubes giving access to the students who are struggling with these concepts. A problem (question) I have is, when working in groups of 3, how to keep the students who have the understanding taking over the group and leaving those who aren’t there yet behind because they don’t understand the strategy used by the other student. Those students don’t seem to be able to explain at a level the lower student can understand.
