Active Learning Strategies

Jigsaw

Jigsaw is another popular and versatile active learning strategy that can serve different functions. A problem, question, or series of questions are divided between students. Learners become “experts” on a different part of the problem and share their expertise to help teach others.

As you become more adept with this strategy, make sure to experiment. We provide ideas here for three different versions of Jigsaw, but the variations are limitless!
