“The project of an overturned class”

This month, during maths classes, Mr. Mora started a new project. The class is overturned: we are the teachers, whereas the professor is a student. When he explained it, my class was curious and overjoyed. The work is divided in groups and each one has got a geometric figure (parallelogram, trapezoid, rhombus, rectangle, square) and the group has to explain it to the class. We do real lessons and these lessons have to have some exercises that the class does after we finish. This project is an attempt to test our skills and to improve our collaboration in groups.
