Learning Chips
Boost interaction. Boost learning. Learning Chips will have your learners humming with interaction.
Each set has 16 attractive, durable plastic chips. Each team lays a set of chips question side down on their desk.
One learner picks a chip and reads the question. All teammates take a turn responding. The next student picks the
next chip and all teammates respond. Learning Chips are a terrific way to get learners interacting over the learning
topic! Just place a set of chips at a team table and let the non-stop discussion begin. They run themselves as a
center. Chips are also great for whole-class activities. Give each learner one chip. Have them mix, pair, and ask
a partner the question on their chip. They trade chips and find new partners to question.

Let's face it, forming good cooperative learning teams can be a chore. Not any more!
To create effective teams, we must juggle a lot of variables: We want teams of four, but must form some teams of
three or five to handle "extra" learners. We want two males and two females per team, but when we run
out of balanced sex teams we want same sex teams so the solo male or female are not given too much or too little
attention. We want a high, high-medium, low-medium, and low ability learner on each team to optimize coaching, tutoring
and achievement. Creating teams can be a brain-racking, time-consuming process. Now, you simply click a button.
TeamTools takes your class info and recommends teams for you. If you like the recommended teams, you save, print,
or display them for your class. If you're not happy with the suggested teams, you push a button to try again, or
fine-tune the teams yourself by moving learners around. Forming flexible groups for differentiated instruction is
also a snap. TeamTools gives you six ways to form teams, six ways to form pairs, and two ways to split the class
into two teams. You can use TeamTools for up to 8 different classrooms or training programs. Create and manage teams
like a pro with TeamTools!
