Teacher: We’re going to do something called “Here’s where I’m at.” Say, here’s where I’m at.

Students: Here’s where I’m at.

Teacher: You’re going to go to your table. You’re going to start solving a few math problems at your seat, okay? Can you give me a thumbs up? Then here’s what’s going to be different, are you ready? Listen, here’s what’s going to be different. Before they finish, I’m going to say “class, class,” and you’re going to say “yes yes.” You’re going to stop. I’m gonna say “class, class,” and hands up. What you’re going to do is, you’re going to find your buddy and you’re going to talk to your buddy about how your math problems are going. You’re going to talk to them about if you have challenges, you’re going to talk to them about something you really liked, and you’re going to talk to them about how you solved it, what you did for the math, okay? Are you guys ready?

Students: Yes.

Teacher: All right. When I say go, we’re going to have walking feet to our table, and you may start. Ready? Go. Don’t step on the thing.

Go, go, go. I’m looking. Keep going. You got it. I see very focused brains.

Class, class.

Students: Yes, yes.

Teacher: Hands up. When you put your hands down, you only need your paper. Say, “only my paper.”

Students: Only my paper.

Teacher: And find your buddy. Go. Find your buddy. Find your buddy. Find your buddy. Where’s your buddy? Who is your buddy? Okay, go over there.

You need to come over here. Talk to them about how it’s going. All right, talk to them. How do you know how to solve these? Tell him. How did you find that?

Amazing. Hey, yo classie.

Students: Hey, yo classie.

Teacher: Say, “thank you, buddy.”

Students: Thank you, buddy.

Teacher: Can you walk with your paper carefully back to your table and keep going. Watch where you’re walking, watch where you’re walking. Go back to your table and keep working.
