Mode of Instruction: Teamwork           Purpose: Receive feedback

Objective: To promote meaningful mathematical discourse, students share, analyze, and compare teammates' approaches and arguments.

Team Member (1) presents an explanation to a problem to other team members in a short period of time—one or two minutes. The presentation may be a portfolio project, a report, a math problem, Learning Log, etc. When the time is up, team members ask Team Member (1) any questions or clarifications—about one minute. Then Team Member (1) turns away from the team while team members discuss the presentation and deepen understanding of the problem—five minutes—, while Team Member (1) listens and writes notes. Team Member (1) turns back and shares a reflection of the discussion. The role may rotate to Team Member (2) and the process continues. The teacher uses discretion for length of activity.
