Mix-Pair-Share

Students stand. The teacher calls, “Mix,” and students mix around the room. 

The teacher calls, “Pair.” Students pair up with the person closest to them. Students who haven’t found a partner raise their hands to find each other. 

The teacher asks a question and provides think time. Students share with their partners using Timed PairShare or RallyRobin. (For questions with a list of possible responses, use RallyRobin. For those requiring longer, in-depth responses, use Timed Pair Share.)
