GROUPS-MATHS TOURNAMENT

(GMT)
 Why do we need GMT?

 To create an effective classroom environment.

 GMT structure embodies both competition and
cooperation that promotes peer group rewards.
 It uses the same teams , instructional format
and worksheet as STAD , but students play
academic games and tournament instead of
quizzes.
 STEPS IN GMT

Step 1 : Review
 Teacher and students review the topics.
(Through discussion, question and answers)
 EX : QUESTION 1

 Student 1 : Read the question

 Student 2 : Explain

 Student 3 : Write the answer

 Student 4 : Check the answer

Proceed to the next questions but take turn

with different roles.
 Step 2 : Group Study

 Work in group of four(depend on no of students)

 Teacher guides the students to work together
 Students help each other in their group
 Teacher distributes worksheet to every student
and explains the step and function of the
method.
 Each student has each role
 Step 3: Group-Maths-Tournament
