Description
Summary:[...]the strategic questioner ensures that all possibilities have been explored by posing questions such as "What's another idea?" or "Does this design solve the problem most efficiently?" These roles give each individual a meaningful way to contribute to the group. [...]they also allow the group to practice the Standards for Mathematical Practice and the practices of science or engineering. The data manager collects data to help construct viable arguments (Common Core State Standards) and to analyze and interpret data (Next Generation Science Standards, 2013). [...]the roles are designed not only to maximize students' engagement with content and with each other, but also with the processes important to the disciplines.
