Proximity PartnerMode of Instruction: Partner Work Purpose: Build shared understanding Objective: To facilitate meaningful mathematical discourse, students build shared understanding through comparing approaches and arguments. Teacher monitors approaches through circulation. To find proximity partners, students stand up, push in chairs, touch 2 tables/desks, three walls, and a chair. The two students closest together are proximity partners. Partners discuss a topic or concept for a period of time—one or two minutes. Partners thank each other and return to the teams. Stand-Up Hand-Up Partner-Up (Proximity Partners variation) To find a partner, students stand up, push in chairs, put a hand up, make eye contact, and put hand down. After all hands are down, partners move to meet and discuss a topic or concept.
