Skills covered
Explaining mathematical thinking - students use a sentence stem to describe how they approached a problem.
Active listening - "What I heard you say was…" and "I agree/disagree with you because…" give students a form of words for responding to a partner's reasoning.
Offering peer support - "I can help you with this problem." gives a scripted opener for a student who wants to step in.
