Different types of collaboration

Pair Share
 Easiest
 1-3 Sentences each

Rally Robin
 Back and Forth
 Constant

Time Pair Share


 Have set time to share
o If partner doesn’t fill time, the other partner should ask question to spark more
conversation

Overall volume might be louder because of how distant they have to be

Both Record Rally Robin


 Both have pencil and paper – both share

Both record consensus


 Both come up with answers and agree upon them
o What is agreed upon is what gets written down

Rally Coach
 A – Solve and Explain outloud
o Get an ok
o Record answer
 B – watch and listen
o Give and ok or coach
o Praise (be specific)
 Could then switch roles and do activity again

Have to be careful that you aren’t just having students repeating answers without demonstrating
knowledge

Ask them a related question or ask them to explain the process of finding the answer

“If you’re able to do this you will be able to solve this”

Mix – Pair – Share

Stand up – Hand up – Pair Up

Quiz – Quiz – Trade

Social Skills
 Greet
 Praise
 Part

Do not want to reinforce guessing

Each student has their own cards, don’t trade – just ask a new question

Principles PIES
 Positive Interdependence
 Individual Accountability
 Equal Participation
 Simultaneous Interaction
