Carousel• Write a different problem/topic/question on large

poster sheets hung on the walls or on each table.• Each team is given a different colored marker.• Each team goes to a different poster, discusses the

topic and decides what to write.• Teams rotate to all of the posters, adding to what

was written by previous teams (have a time limit).• When done, each team does a “gallery walk.”• A large group discussion/debrief can then be held.

Dyad• Each person is given equal time to talk.• The listener does not talk, it isn’t a

conversation.• Confidentiality is maintained.• Maintain eye contact and good body

language.

Possible Mathematical PracticesClosures (3, 8) Starters (3) Team Building (3, 8)

Fortune Cookie• Choose 5-6 questions and put in an envelope.• Each team receives an envelope.• One person draws a question, and makes one

statement about the topic, then passes it on.• The next person adds their own statement or

responds to the previous statement.• When everyone has responded to the first

statement, another person draws from the envelope and repeats the process.

Give One-Get One• Record three ideas to share related to a certain

topic.• Circulate and share ideas; for every idea given

they receive one in return and record these on a piece of paper – including the name of the author.

• Begin group sharing by inviting a volunteer to share one idea received citing the author. The named person then continues the sharing process.

Possible Mathematical PracticesReview (6, 7)

Hot Potato• Every team has one sheet of paper and each

student has a different colored pencil.• A problem is given to the group.• Person 1 writes the first step of the solution

process, explaining aloud, and passes the paper on to Person 2.

• Person 2 makes any corrections and adds the next step, explaining aloud, and passes the paper on.

• Process continues until the problem is competed.

Hot Seat• One chair/desk per team is set up in the front of

the room.• Using Numbered Heads, Person #1 from each

team comes to the front of the room and sits.• Teacher gives everyone a problem to work on in a

specified amount of time.• Teams can talk, but not the individuals in front.• Check individual and team answers; two points for

correct individual answers and 1 point for correct team answers.

• Person #2 from each team is up next and repeat.

Huddle

• One person from each team (teacher’s choice) is called to the front of the room.

• Teacher gives a piece of information, checks for understanding….

• Student goes back to team to share.

Possible Mathematical PracticesBig Team Problems (1, 4, 5, 7, 8) Team Building (3, 8)

I Have… Who Has• Each student has one card with problem and an

answer to a different problem.• Student 1 asks “Who has…” and states the problem.• The person with the solution says “I have ….” and

states the answer.• The responding student then poses his problem and

the student with the answer on his card responds.• The process continues until all the questions and

responses have been given.

Possible Mathematical PracticesTeam Building (3, 8)

Index Card Carousel

• Have the participants write one thing that they really need help with in their classroom - management, homework, getting kids to work, etc.

• The card gets passed around with the other participants offering suggestions on how to solve the problem.


Jigsaw #1• Each study team is assigned a different part of a

larger topic/task.• The team researches and discusses the topic/task.• The team determines how to organize and present

the information.• Each study team presents its part to the whole

class.

1:1


Jigsaw #2• Each study team member is assigned a

different part of a task/topic.• Each member researches/learns about the

task/topic (possibly with others with same topic).

• Each member then presents the information to the others in his/her study team.

1:1


Listening Post• Students #1 and #2 work on a math problem aloud

in their team.• Student #3 listens to the discussion and can ask

clarifying math questions.• Student #4 only records what is discussed and

verbalized (looks for attitudes) and may not talk.• After 15 minutes, work stops and student #4

shares notes and observations.• A variation is Students #1, #2, and #3 work and #4

observes and then shares.

1:1


Math Chat (Chalk Talk)• On poster paper, put the “center” topic of a

concept map at the middle of each poster. • Students are given markers.• Without talking, students move from poster to

poster adding to each concept map.• Give a warning when to stop writing. Then

allow students to revisit each poster.• When it’s done, it’s done… No discussion.

Possible Mathematical PracticesBig Team Problems (1, 4, 5, 7, 8)

Numbered Heads• Students number off in study team.• The team is given a problem to solve.• When the team finishes, use random

numbers (1-4) to ask questions or have team members share the solution process.

• The numbers can also be used to assign roles.


Pairs Check• Each pair has one paper and pencil.• Student #1 writes what Student #2 explains OR

Student #1 does the first problem while Student #2 only watches, listens and asks questions.

• Then roles are reversed for the second problem.• Then each pair checks their work with the other

study team pair.• Continue on to the next pair of problems.

Possible Mathematical PracticesClosures (3, 8) Starters (3) Review (6, 7)

Participation Quiz

• Pick a group worthy task.• Tell students which norm you are focusing on.

– Show teams how you are keeping track (overhead, posters, chalkboard).

• Record comments while students are working.• Debrief (Do not need to record everything).

1:1


Reciprocal Teaching

• In pairs, Person A pretends that Person B was absent and explains a concept.

• Switch roles and continue.

Possible Mathematical PracticesClosures (3, 8) Starters (3) Review (6, 7)

Silent Debate• Student pairs: One is “pro”, the other “con.”• Each pair has one pencil and one sheet of paper.• A topic is given, the pro goes first.• The pro makes a supportive statement in writing.• The con reads the statement and then writes a

comment against the topic.• The process repeats 3-4 times.

1:1

Possible Mathematical PracticesClosures (3, 8) Starters (3)

SPARC

• Start promptly.• Peer support expected within each team.• Assignments due each day.• Respond to group rather than individuals.• Circulate. Circulate. Circulate.


Station Rotation• Have 1-2 more stations than the number of

student groups.• Place a sheet of review problems (4-6) at each

station. (Good idea to use a sheet protector).• Have a blank answer sheet at each station for

each group. • The students work the problems as a group when

they finish they turn in the station paper to the teacher and move to the next available station.

Possible Mathematical PracticesReview (6, 7)

Swapmeet

• When a group task is partially finished, one pair from each team rotates to the next team.

• Pairs from the two teams share ideas, solutions, thinking…

• Pairs return to their original teams and share what they learned.

1:1


Think-(Ink)-Pair-Share

• Teacher poses a question/problem.• Without pencils, students think for 1-2

minutes.• Students may then use pencil to begin

working…without talking to partner.• Students then share their thinking and

answer(s) with their partner.• Pairs then may share with larger group.

1:1


Teammates Consult

• All pencils and calculators are set aside.• Students read the problem or question.• Give students individual think/work time. • The problem is discussed by the team for clarity.• Possible strategies are shared.• Teacher gives okay for pencils to be picked up and

written work to begin.

•Make sure no one talks outside your team.•Make sure your team is on-task and talking about math.•Listen for statements and reasons.


Fishbowl• Used to model to whole class expected

behaviors/norms• One or two teams sit in the middle of the class

and works on the math problem• Rest of class stands near the team and observes

or takes notes of how the team works, questions that are asked…..

• After 5-10 minutes, the teams return to their own tables and work on the math problem

Hot Seat

With a Device• Follow the Hot Seat instructions above

• Have all students solve the problem using an app such as Educreations

• Teams are not allowed to talk but can work together.

• Give them two minutes to solve the problem and then only 1 device in each team is allowed to be open. Walk around and check the team answers first.

• Then using Apple TV, the students in the hot seat show their answers and the class reflects on whether or not their answer and work is correct.

•One chair/desk per team is set up in the front of the room.

•Using Numbered Heads, Person #1 from each team comes to the front of the room and sits.

•Teacher gives everyone a problem to work on in a specified amount of time.

•Teams can talk, but not the individuals in front.

•Check individual and team answers; two points for correct individual answers and 1 point for correct team answers.

•Person #2 from each team is up next and repeat.How it Worked
