Yesterday, I helped Mr. Mihaski, high school mathematics teacher, created a slightly different classroom space. He is allowing students to be the resource for discussion of problems in his class. To facilitate this, he created a "station" in the classroom that has a document camera. Students will be asked to explain their work while students add constructive conversation to the class. Mr. Mihalski will focus on questioning of the student as to why they completed a step in a math problem. This will also place the emphasis on explanation by the student which will help with Common Core skills.
