Resource Managers: In addition to being responsible for getting materials, RMs should help teammates use the mirrors and protractors. They should call the teacher over for help only after the other teammates have been consulted. Facilitators: In addition to making sure the team sticks together, Facilitators should make sure that all students understand the task. For each part, Facilitators should choose a new student to read the task aloud. This helps auditory learners understand the directions. Task Managers: In addition to watching the time closely, TMs should monitor the team and be sure that the other team members are performing their roles. Recorder/Reporters: Should make sure they are ready to share any patterns the team noticed or any other observations the team made. They should ask students to justify their statements so that they can share these justifications with the class.
