English
By (author): Danielle Ross Jennifer Cartier Margaret Schwan Smith Mary Kay Stein
Anticipate what students will do, what strategies they will use in solving a problem, monitor their work as they approach the problem in class, select students whose strategies are worth discussing in class, sequence those students presentations to maximise their potential to increase students learning, connect the strategies and ideas in a way that helps students understand the science learned.
