1) Students sit in a formation (think circle) that is easy to "travel" around.
2) Each student has a piece of paper in front of them.
3) And a pencil.
4) Depending on the material being covered, a calculator.
5) STUDENTS MAY ONLY TRAVEL WITH THEIR WRITING UTENSIL AND CALCULATOR. The paper must stay. It marks the spot.
6) The teacher writes out a problem for all to solve.
7) Everyone frantically solves as fast as they can for the correction solution.
8) The teacher determines how much time should be allowed before saying, "Pencils Down". This phrase can be said quietly, loudly, theatrically, with hand motions or without.
9) Once all pencils are down, a student reviews how to get the answer. The teacher confirms or continues to question until the correct answer is revealed.
10) Students that got the answer correct need to STAND.
11) They must LOOK to see where the next spot is opening up in the travel pattern.
12) Then they need to TRAVEL...with their writing utensil and abacus.
13) Repeat the process.
