At the end of this activity, students should be better able to (select as many as apply):
look for opportunities
Divide class into groups of 5 to 6.
Distribute worksheet or set of questions for students to answer. This activity works best when there are at least half the number of questions as there are students in the class.
Allow the groups to look through the questions and potentially discuss answers but they should not write anything down yet. Give them 2-3 minutes to do this depending on the number of questions.
Print out the answers on slips of paper and randomly distribute them amongst all the students. If there are less questions than students, then print out multiple copies of each answer. (Do not include which question it is the answer for.)
Students should go around asking their classmates for the answers they have and try to match it to the correct question, then write it down. Give the class about 15 minutes to do this.
Once the time is up, students should go back to their groups and try to fill in whatever answers they still have incomplete by sharing answers with their group mates.
Then go through the questions and award points for correctly matched answers.

Going around the class and looking for answers can be done in multiple ways.
Should groups divide questions and focus on only a few questions each? Should you ask for answers first and then scan questions for a match? Should you have answers in mind and then ask anyone who has similar answers to what you have in mind?
Should you exchange information with your classmates - tell them which question you think your answer is for if they tell you the same? What other forms of bartering or negotiating can be done? This truly encourages students to look for opportunities.
