We had a great time speed dating in class on Friday, all students were placed in a large circle. I did not have the students partner with each other. They were partnered up with a clipboard that contained the math problem to be worked instead. I gave students 2 minutes to work the problem. When the timer sounded they flipped the clipboard over to reveal the correct answer. After each problem we discussed. Students were telling me if they ran out of time, were incorrect due to a multiplication or math error, were incorrect due to a decimal issue, were incorrect and had no explanation. The students then rotated to the next problem. We repeated the procedure and discussion, most students felt that they improved as class continued.
Sadly, I forgot to take pictures :(
