Think aloud

Students each get a different problem, and reads it to the other student while pausing every few sentences to “think aloud” while trying to solve the problem. This gives their partner insight in their individual thought process. Students then switch.

When both students have carefully read, interpreted or solved (or stalled) the problem in this way, they reflect on both approaches. What was useful? What would you not have thought to do? What would you have done differently? Together, students determine the best approach.
