Elicit non-trivial dialogue from students. Guide students to reflection and analysis of the experience. Encourage students to share their perceptions and beliefs. Summarize and review similarities and differences.

Discussion

Objective: The student will evaluate the results, determining the relationship between group performance and the amount of practice time afforded the group.

Activity: Discussion. Discuss the results of the Classroom Olympics. Was there any relationship between the scores and the practice times? If so, what was it? Why do you think this happened? What do you think might happen if some groups were given even more time to practice? What did the groups which practiced have to give up that the other groups got? Can you think of any other time you might have to give something up in order to get time to practice something? How does practice time relate to final scores? In what other areas in your life can this be seen?

Assessment: Measures of student understanding can be determined both from their answers during the discussion and their written answers to the following question: WHY practice?
