Broken Squares Observer Sheet

Your job is part observer and part judge. As a Judge, you should make sure that each participant observes the rules that are provided:

There is to be no talking, pointing or any other kind of communicating.
Participants may give pieces directly to other participants, but may not take pieces from other members, or in any way signal that another person is to give them a piece.
Participants may not place their pieces into the centre for others to take.

It is permissible for a member to give away all the pieces to their puzzle even if they have already formed a square.

As an Observer, look for the following and make as many notes as possible:

Note all areas of discussion during the 3-minute planning session, and who participated in planning; who took leadership roles; who allowed the group to override their opinions, etc.

Does anyone finish “their” puzzle and then withdraw from the group problem-solving?

Is there anyone who continually struggles with their pieces, yet is unwilling to give any or all of them away?

Does anyone try to violate the rules by talking or pointing as a means of helping fellow members solve the problems?
