9. The developer and his idea: • Kagan in Bookman, et al (2001: 1) believed that Number Heads Together is “a technique which is useful for quickly reviewing objective material in a fun way”.

10. What does it look like? • Practically, students in each team of four are numbered 1, 2, 3, or 4. • In so doing, students train each other on the material to be mastered. This is also called Discussing Reasons. • Next, teachers pose a question and call a number: 1, 2, 3, or 4. Students with that number are allowed to answer and earn points for their team. • Furthermore, the class can be lead to repeat the previous sections (Bookman, et al, (2001); Jacob, Lee, & Ball (p. 43-44).

12. Using NHT is effective in ELT

14. NUMBERED HEAD TOGETHER

15. Steps • Preparation • Formation of groups • Discussion of problems • Call the number of members or giving answers • Gives conclusions

16. Preparation…, preparing a lesson plan If you fail to plan You plan a failure

17. Formation of groups…, • The teacher divides the students into heterogeneous groups consisting of 3-5 students • Teachers gave a number to each student in the group and name the group • The group was formed by a mixture of in terms of social background, race, ethnicity, gender and learning ability • If one group is smaller than the others have no. 3 answer for no. 4 as well. The teacher can give numbers or students can give numbers themselves

18. Management Tips…, • Before posing a question, make sure each person is assigned a number • Having students sit in a specific seat according to number insures honesty in responding • Model how to make sure each person knows the answer

19. Heads Together…, • Activity sheets distributed to students as a material to be studied • Students then think individually • Discussion of problems • Each member of the group they should know the answer to the question • Ensure enough ‘wait time is given for the group to do the task

20. Call the number of members…, • The teacher then calls a number and students from each group with the same number raised their hands • prepare for and respond to the entire class

21. Variations…, • Instead of sharing out with the class, they share with their answers with students who have the same number. • Reinforce mental math by calling numbers as the result of mental math problems. (e.g. Call on students whose number is the square of two.)

22. Gives conclusions…, • Teachers with students concluded the final answer of all questions related to the material presented
