Each group has the same numbers. 3.Each member of HOME group receives a different assignment (i.e., passage to read, question to answer, problem to solve). IMPORTANT: All #1 members of each group should have same problem. 4.The HOME groups split, and members come together in other EXPERT groups. The EXPERT group works collaboratively to complete the task. 5.After designated time, members of EXPERT group return to HOME groups. Each person shares his/her expertise and knowledge with the HOME group.

Corners As a review, post 1-5 samples of a different type of math problem on chart paper in each corner of the room. Invite students to go to the corner with the type of problem that he/she would like/needs to work on. Students are given a certain amount of time to work problems individually before being given time to collaborate on answers.

Hot Seat Before the beginning of class, the teacher prepares 4-5 questions related to the topic of study and writes them on sticky notes. Place the sticky notes underneath student desks so they are hidden from view. At beginning of class, inform students that several of them are sitting in “Hot Seats” and will be asked to answer the questions. Have the students check their desks for the strategically placed sticky notes. Students who are in the “Hot Seats” take turns answering the questions.
