Flexible Groups

The video explains the concept of flexible groupings in the classroom, particularly for math and literacy centers. Flexible grouping involves organizing students into groups based on specific skill needs rather than general performance levels, allowing for dynamic and fluid group changes. The teacher demonstrates how to implement flexible grouping during a math block, including whole group instruction, independent practice, and small group activities. The approach emphasizes regular observation and assessment to identify student needs, creating opportunities for targeted intervention and enrichment. The video also provides practical tips for rotating activities and organizing groups to maximize learning outcomes.
