I'm thinking about taking a few minutes with students to brainstorm 3 - 4 expected qualities and have them help me flesh out what those should look like. I'm thinking that if students help me create the rubric they will be more likely to understand it and work towards the qualities it embodies.Algebra's Friendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04729315514507170702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8399389267815059112.post-58322823502753801512013-10-06T16:35:05.405-05:002013-10-06T16:35:05.405-05:00Hey Beth!

I see you are looking for a collaborative work rubric. Have you seen this one:<br />http://msmathwiki.pbworks.com/w/file/68311530/MATHEMATICAL%20COLLABORATION%20RUBRIC%202-UP.pdf<br />developed by Elizabeth at http://cheesemonkeysf.blogspot.com/2013/08/collaboration-literacy-part-2-draft.html<br />I've modified it a tad: but it is a fabulous, thoughtful rubric.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8399389267815059112.post-56410170142829078922013-10-06T14:57:25.336-05:002013-10-06T14:57:25.336-05:00Hi Victoria -

I submitted a proposal on Donors Choose for my whiteboards and they were purchased from WhiteboardsUSA: http://www.whiteboardsusa.com/. I know that the local hardware stores that sell showerboard will cut the showerboard into sizes that are good for group whiteboards. Last year I used a simple mini murder mystery when working on systems of equations with students: Gradient Straight Line - Murder Mystery - KS3 by whieldon on the Think Educate Share Connect site ... <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!Algebra's Friendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04729315514507170702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8399389267815059112.post-90239543285149991982013-10-06T14:34:14.323-05:002013-10-06T14:34:14.323-05:00I love murder mystery puzzles.

Might need to see if we have a similar thing in the UK. We have a set of mini ones in our classroom and I use sugar paper for that size work if I can find some but those board look very handy.
