Overview
This is a basic "yes, and" exercise applied to the group solution of a
math problem. A math problem is displayed to the class. Students go
in order and make "Yes, and" statements about the problem and its
solution. This continues until the class comes to a natural
conclusion. A discussion ensues.
Why this Works
This activity emphasizes the importance of concentration and
listening in problem solving. As students eagerly anticipate (or dread)
their turn, they are intensely focused on understanding the problem.
Students learn by first-hand thinking and group collaboration rather
than by following lectures or enacting an algorithm presented by the
teacher.
Grade Level: 4th and Up
Time Needed: 15 minutes
Materials: A reading
comprehension passage
and questions, in
projectable or handout
form

"Yes, and" Math
Instructions
1. A math problem is projected for the entire class to see.
2. A student (or the teacher) makes a declarative statement
about the problem.
3. The next student tries to build on or add to what the previous
person said by starting their sentence with the words "Yes,
and."
4. The action proceeds until the problem is solved or the group's
investigation of the problem come to a natural conclusion. A
discussion ensues.
Variation
 Have all students in the class pair up and play in pairs on their
own. Use a common math problem that's projected on the board
for all to see.
 Instead of playing with the entire class, have a small cast of 4 - 5
students come up and play.
"Yes, and" Math is an
excellent review exercise
before a practice test or
at the end of a unit.

Helpful Hints
 If students are struggling to form meaningful "Yes, and"
statements, the teacher join the game until students gain
experience and confidence.
 Students should be encouraged to add meaning with each
statement, not just unrelated facts.
 A post-game discussion should not be ignored. Students should
be encouraged to agree or disagree about the correctness of
other students' statements. Also, the teacher should discuss or
describe the educational objectives of the particular math
problem.
 Use the post-game discussion to clarify issues that are unclear or
misunderstood by the class.
 Solidify what's been learned. Immediately following the
discussion, have students work on their own to solve similar
problems.
Side Coaching
"Don't blurt out disconnected statements that you've prepared in
advance. Use your knowledge to improvise. Build on what the
previous person said."

"Yes, and" Math
Example
Student A or Teacher: An angle is created on a horizontal line.
Student B: An angle is created on a horizontal line. This means we
have two complimentary angle.
Student C: We have two complimentary angles. This means someone
is mixed up because they're really called supplementary angles.
Student D: We have two supplementary angles. This means that if
we know one of the angles, which we do, then we can find the other.
Student E: We know one of the angles and can find the other. This
means that since one angle is 60 degrees, the supplementary angle
must be equal to 180 minus 60.
Student F: The supplementary angle is 180 minus 60. This means
that the unknown angle is 120 degrees.
Student G: The unknown angle is 120 degrees. This means that 2x is
equal to 120.
Etc.
Here's a sample of how
the "Yes, and"
statements might unfold
