Think Pair Share: A Mathematical Technique

Teacher MARIA B. PAMITTAN

Mathematics teaching and learning in the new normal is extremely difficult and difficult. There will be doubts, concerns, and anxieties. Misconceptions may occur, as well as a dislike for the subject or the teacher. Math teachers may fail to build students' critical thinking and problem-solving skills, which are the primary aims of K-12 Math.

The Think, Pair, Share(TPS) Technique, in which two learners work together to arrive at a specific solution to a mathematical word problem, was an example of invention. As a learning experience, small group tasks and activities are used in this type of learning technique. Embarrass Your Partner. Students spend a minute to come up with a hard question based on what they've learned so far in class. The question is posed by the students to a member of the group.

TPS is a collaborative learning approach in which students work together to solve a problem or answer a question concerning a reading assignment. This technique requires students to think about a topic or answer to a question alone before sharing their thoughts with their classmates.

To practice and implement "Think-Pair-Share," start with a specific question and give students time to think about a solution on their own, either in written form or through a mathematical problem. After that, students are divided into pairs. Then determine whether you'll assign couples or let students choose their own partners ahead of time. Finally, provide any answers or suggestions that will aid in the process of arriving at a specific answer.
