About The Moving Tables teaching method:

This is a cooperative learning method.
Best used for revision/review.
4 tables, 4 mini-projects/quizzes.
Groups of 4 to 5 students each spend about 5 or 10 minutes (length of time for all tables must be the same, but depends on difficulty of mini-project/quiz) working at each table.

When the time is up, teacher calls time and groups move in a clock-wise fashion to the next table.

After all tables are completed, project work is either peer-marked on teacher-marked, scores are totaled, and a winner is declared! :)
