My new school trained its teachers in Kagan structures before I started working there. I borrowed the basic Cooperative Learning Kagan book from the math coach, but it just gives general descriptions. This book describes the structures that work well in the math classroom and gives multiple suggestions for each math level from Pre-Algebra to Pre-Calculus, including blackline masters for one of the suggestions for each level. Not only do I now have some pre-made activities to use, but I have a much better idea of how to use the Kagan structures for other mathematical topics.
