Peer Coaching and Exponent Problems

The video showcases a classroom setting where students engage in peer coaching to solve math problems. The teacher explains the peer coaching strategy, emphasizing student roles and accountability. Students work in pairs, discussing and solving problems, while the teacher highlights the benefits of this approach, such as increased student engagement and understanding. A signal system is introduced for students to request teacher assistance when needed.
