Group projects
Make groups of four for a project and put them on the board, so everyone can find their group without a fuss.

What it does
Even group sizes
Students are shared out so groups stay as even as possible, even when the numbers do not divide neatly.
Keep-apart pairs
Add pairs of students who should never end up in the same group. Every reshuffle respects them.
Absent students skipped
Mark a student absent with one tap and the groups are made from the students who are actually in the room.
Fun group names
Each group gets a fun name, which is easier to call out than "group four".
Ways teachers use it
Lab and talk partners
Set 2 students per group for science partners or think-pair-share, and reshuffle each week.
PE teams
Split the class into even teams for a game, then reshuffle for the next round.
Frequently asked questions
