In this activity, students build knowledge together by thinking aloud about problems collectively.
• Give all students one or more relatively complex multiple-choice questions (see example in the image) and have them answer these quietly on their own. Have students indicate for each answer how certain they are of it: a 1 for ‘certain’, a 2 for ‘uncertain’, and a 3 for ‘guessed’. • Form groups of 2-3 students and have them share their answers and certainty levels with each other. • Have students then individually review their answers and certainty levels and make any necessary changes. • Discuss the answers and the reasoning behind them centrally now. What did students have? What misunderstandings are there?
