Research Based Strategy

The strategy that Tabbie and I chose was 'Thinking Aloud".  It states that in order to help the students out more when presented a problem, they should talk the problem out, or even go up to the board and do it.  This is a great strategy for any grade level, but this was targeted for first through third graders.  The strategy allows the student to actually speak what he or she is thinking.  There are so many times that I can recall when I was younger and I was too afraid to ask for help because I didn't want to look dumb.  But implementing this strategy allows students to actually come out of their shell and become more outgoing and not afraid to speak up in class, especially when they don't understand something.
