Teaching strategies are methods used by teachers to facilitate learning. They should engage learners, accommodate different skills and learning styles, and cover the content. Some examples of strategies include fishbowl discussions, jigsaw activities, group discussions, problem solving, inquiry-based instruction, cooperative learning, and visualization using images and diagrams. Fishbowl involves an inner circle discussing a topic while an outer circle listens. Jigsaw divides a lesson into segments for expert groups to learn and then share. Discussion is an orderly exchange of ideas on a topic. Problem solving follows steps to identify issues and agree on solutions. Inquiry-based instruction fosters curiosity and deeper understanding. Cooperative learning uses group work and practical activities. Visualization communicates
