Would whole class discussions benefit from close proximity? I was thinking of adding this format in my middle school classroom. <br /><br />Another idea I had was assigning the inner circle a task while the outer circle observes and notes the mathematical thinking or mathematical practices. I've held several Socratic Circles as a literature or social studies teacher but haven't done it for math.<br /><br />If you or your readers can comment on that I would appreciate it.
