 We want all students to get actively involved in thinking about the lesson topic. In the Think-Pair-Share method, the teacher uses three steps to get students involved. The first step is think. The teacher asks the students a question and then has them think quietly about their answers for a few moments. The second step is pair. The teacher puts the students in pairs and asks them to discuss their answers with each other. If the class size is large, the teacher can put students into groups of three or four to discuss their answers. In that case, the teacher gives a little more time for this step. The third step is share. The teacher chooses a student from each pair or group to share their group's answers with the whole class. The Think-Pair-Share method helps students to think more deeply and allows them to learn from each other.
