* *Each student picks a playing card. *When the teacher asks a question or gives a problem, discuss it with your partner. *The teacher will say something like, “all red cards stand” or “all Kings stand. ” *The teacher will pick someone who is standing to respond.

* *You and your partner each get a mini-white board and stand back-to-back. *The teacher asks a question and you each answer on your board. *When the teacher says “turn around” you show each other your answers and discuss.

*Outside/Inside Circle *Inside and outside circles of students face each other. *Within each pair of facing students, students quiz each other with questions they have written or problems they have created. *Outside circle moves to create new pairs. *Repeat.
