The expectation: Students come into the classroom and work independently on the problems presented to them.

After the work is completed, students present their different answers for each problem on the board. The work is then discussed by the class. Is the work logically sound? Is all the work written such that anyone can explain their thinking? (did they skip a step?) How does this apply to what we did yesterday? Teacher prompts: This is where were going to go today.
