Explaining: Students explain to each other how they did something, for example, solving a problem. It has been found that students who explain their method to each other learn mathematics much faster than those who do not.

By explaining conceptual relationships to others, tutors define their own understanding.

Question Pairs: Learners prepare for the activity by reading an agreed text, and generating questions and answers focused on the major points or issues raised. At the next class meeting pairs are randomly assigned. Partners alternately ask their questions of each other, and provide corrective feedback on the answers.

Learning Cells : Each learner reads different selections and then teaches the essence of the material to his or her randomly assigned partner.
