Fan and Pick Cooperative Learning Six different colored fan & pick matts A note for the Teacher Fan-N-Pick is a simple strategy that can be used in the classroom to help students collaboration and interaction. The focus of this strategy can be to review a concept, discuss an issue, demonstrate understanding of content, or share information about a topic. You need to start with a set of cards for each group of four students. Students are divided into groups of four, then are numbered off student one through four. Student 1: take cards and fan them out. Offer cards to student 2 and say "Pick a card, any card." Student 2: read the card to the group Student 3: answer the question on the card Student 4: Paraphrase or restate the answer given by student 3, clarify or check the answer, praise student for the answer given. Round 2, rotate the cards to the right, Student 2 now offers cards to Student 3 and repeats the steps. Play continues until all cards have been answered. Suggestions Team Building: Students can ask each other questions in order to get to know each other. Math: Students could practice problems for a math skill, practice basic facts, or demonstrate how to solve a problem for math content. Literacy : For reading, students could respond to questions about a story or piece of literature. Social Studies: Students can discuss civic issues, vocabulary, or historical events using this strategy. Science: content can be supported by discussing the information for class, reviewing content, sharing ideas, and questioning scientific findings. Think about having the students create questions or using math flash cards!
