Mode of Instruction: Partner/Teamwork/Teacher-led Purpose: Summarize a topic
Objective: To facilitate meaningful mathematical discourse, students summarize understanding of topics through brief conversations. Teachers monitor through circulation techniques.
Students summarize a concept or topic in a 30-second, relatively short, talk. Basically, if someone gets onto an elevator and asks about a problem, you have until the elevator gets to your floor to explain it. Use Proximity Partners or a Whiparound to share out the summaries.
Each individual/partner/team is given a topic or concept.
Students summarize the topic or concept into a brief presentation.
