A Primer on Small Group Instruction in Undergraduate Mathematics
PRIMUS, v28 n10 p904-919 2018
Increasing evidence supports the use of small group instruction to enhance student learning in undergraduate mathematics. However, effectively enacting such learning methods requires instructors to develop new skills as educators. This paper provides a practical guide for group work in undergraduate mathematics, describing key aspects of group work through the lenses of forming, norming, storming, and performing. I provide vignettes from my own teaching for reference.
