Speed date

This activity can used in different scenarios where it is useful for students to acquaint themselves a lot of perspectives in a short timeframe. An example would be having students exchange their approaches to a math problem in duos. Like in speed dating, they have to finish explaining their solutions within a few minutes. After the allotted time, an alarm goes off, and students exchange partners. This process repeats itself a couple of times, allowing students to hear many approaches to the same problem. This exercise can also be used to exchange opinions on a statement, or personal experiences.
