Great for getting kids to mix, learning names & breaking up potential problem groups that build up - always at the back!
Great advice & it works! However many teachers in primary schools are instructed to organise pupils into groups such as 'kagan' fours. I've used almost every different seating arrangement over the years & the rows & columns arrangement works very well with challenging classes. Placing pupils into small groups of 4 can work well with primary pupils too. It does often depend on your class dynamics. Interestingly, the children like working in pairs.
Excellent. I love this part about breaking the social groups. More often, they fail to see the difference between a serious lesson and their chit chats.
