66. Anticipation / Guestimation
Definition
Anticipation and guestimation is an instructional strategy designed to get students thinking about the consequences or flow-on effects of actions. Teachers ask students to make predictions based on limited knowledge about a topic
Benefits

• 
  Students often have to use mathematics and logical reasoning to succeed in this task.
  
• 
  Students are required to be resourceful and seek clues that will show them the possible consequences of action.
  

Challenges

• 
  It is important to strike a balance between giving enough information to make informed guesses and not too much information that the students can deduce the full answer.
  

67. Silent Conversation
Definition
A silent conversation is a way of getting students to communicate without having them speak up in front of the class. Students write their responses to a prompt on sheets of paper but cannot speak while doing so. They should then also write responses to one another’s points so that they are ‘conversing’ through writing.
Benefits

• 
  Students who are shy to speak up my be more willing to participate, especially if their written response can stay anonymous.
  
• 
  It can often be easier to respond in writing than speaking because students have time to reflect and think about the wording of their response before writing it.
  

Challenges

• 
  Only one student at a time can write their response. Consider what other students will be doing during this time.
  
• 
  Students must be competent writers.
