Students take turns writing one answer on the paper, then passing the paper and pencil clockwise to the next person. When time is called, teams with the most correct answers are recognized. Teams reflect on their strategies and consider ways they could improve. Together This structure is useful for quickly reviewing objective material in a fun way. Students coach each other on material to be mastered.
Teachers pose a question and call a number.
Only the students with that number are eligible to answer and earn points for their team, building both individual accountability and positive interdependence. This is a way to structure pair work on mastery-oriented worksheets. Students work in teams of four with two sets of partners. The worksheet is set up with problems presented in pairs. The first person in each partnership does the first problem with the pair partner serving as coach, and offering exaggerated praise.
