Tetra-Aide (AMS version)

Tetra-Aide – A Simple Tool to Support Student Autonomy and Classroom Organization The Tetra-Aide is not just an object — it’s a teaching tool that helps students communicate their level of understanding and manage when and how they ask for help. Each color represents a different learning situation, but students need to be guided to understand when and why to use them. This makes the Tetra-Aide a powerful support for both learning and classroom flow. 🔹 How it works: Green: “I understand and I’m working well.” Blue: “I’m a bit stuck, but I’m trying to solve it myself (re-reading, checking examples, or asking a classmate).” Yellow: “I have a question, but I can continue working while I wait.” Red: “I’ve tried several things and I really need help.” 🔹 Why use the Tetra-Aide? Encourages students to think before asking for help Promotes independence and problem-solving Helps teachers quickly see who needs support Improves classroom organization and reduces interruptions Fosters cooperation
