Developing Good Team-Working Skills in Maths

Sometimes working together as a team it is hard to share ideas and work collaboratively.  Add silence to the mix and the nrich maths task of Making Rectangles becomes an even bigger challenge.  Teammates had to pass pieces to others in their group to help one another to complete their rectangle.  Success was measured when everyone on the team has completed their part.  Two teams managed to complete all the rectangles before they had to head off for swimming lessons.  Lots of thinking and learning in Room 2!
