The smaller group will allow them to work closely together and there won't be as many students providing feedback at the same time. My assessment would include six problems, a mix of math problems and vocabulary- or content-based questions. The rating can be found in the Appendix. The way it would work is that I would have the first person on the list start. I would give the groups five minutes to work on this problem. The first person would start the problem. For example, if it were a word problem, they would provide the first step in solving the problem, then they would pass it on to the next partner, the next student would then add to the problem, and this would continue until the problem was solved. If at any time one of the students believes there has been a mistake, they will discuss as a group and resolve the problem. If it was a content or vocabulary issue, they would add to the answer and change it, just as if it were a word
