See snap shots of the partners in action below! Notice…just with a couple of shots you see both students fully engaged on the sheet…you see them pointing and touching to what they are discussing.
This partnership for independent work {during math} has allowed students to express themselves and defend their answers. I feel the students can use “math talk” more effectively as well as a result. Also, I now only need HALF of the paper I once needed!


Thanks so much for stopping by to read my trick and grab my treat. Hop along to the next Freebielicious friend to see what their Trick & Treat is!
I use partner teaching in my class, too! My kids love it 🙂

Wonderful tips! I think it really gives the kids accountability and independence. They also love to feel like they can "teach" their partners! Thanks so much also for the sample of kinderphonics – I am excited to check it out!!
Great post! I love the idea of kids helping kids too!
