4. Think, Pair, Share With students seated in teams of 4, have them number them from 1 to 4. Announce a discussion topic or problem to solve. (Example: Which room in our school is larger, the lab or staffroom? How could we find out the answer?) Give students at least 10 seconds of think time to THINK of their own answer. (Research shows that the quality of student responses goes up significantly when you allow "think time.")

5. Think, Pair, Share Using student numbers, announce discussion partners. (Example: For this discussion, Student #1 and #2 will be partners. At the same time, Student #3 and #4 will talk over their ideas.) Ask students to PAIR with their partner to discuss the topic or solution. Finally, randomly call on a few students to SHARE their ideas with the class.

6. Effective Questioning Plan your questions in advance. Ask both open and close ended questions. Consider the need for think time. Give equal opportunities for student responses Apply Bloom’s taxonomy. Nominate. Extend on student responses (probing and prompting) Appreciate student responses.
