However, student-centered learning is what engages students most. When you intentionally include student collaboration in your lesson plans, you give students the opportunity to work and solve problems together. Student interaction in the context of collaborative learning helps students develop skills that will benefit them inside and outside the classroom. Student collaboration can help differentiate instruction, whether by interests or skills. Additionally, it allows students to approach the content differently than the teacher, and process their learning through discussion. Finally, when students collaborate with one another, engagement increases through the sharing of different ideas, and each student develops confidence as they contribute to the work of the group. Speak by Number is a strategy where students discuss instructional content with one another, rather than passively listening to the teacher lecture. When students collaborate, knowing that they will have a responsibility to share their ideas with the whole class encourages them to be direct participants in their learning. The teacher first divides the class into small groups, and assigns each group member a number. Each group is given a different question to discuss and answer with their teammates. After a set period of time, the teacher calls a number, and each group member with that number has the opportunity to share their conclusions with the whole class. Students are encouraged to build off one another’s responses across groups, to develop good speaking and listening practices. It is important to rearrange groups after a period of time, so students become accustomed to speaking with different peers. This also ensures that all students contribute equally by keeping the group dynamic fresh. Also, make sure every student gets a chance to have their number called so they can speak in the whole class setting. If you run out of time, keep a roster of who has spoken, so that those who did not get to speak are the first ones to contribute next time. 1) How can I design my groups so every student is motivated to contribute during the activity? 2) What kinds of questions will I give my students: short answer, single-solution, extended response, or something else? How much time will my students need to answer each question? 3) What kind of assignment or note-taking document can I give my students for this activity so I can track what they understand and what I need to reteach?
