Love this routine Alice! Thank you for providing a post that is so easy to employ in the classroom. The example statements/questions certainly make it clear to see how I could use this with my students. I teach maths and often find it difficult to steer away from the general, this is the topic, this is how we use the formulas, now you guys work on some questions independently......
