Which strategy uses a cube with commands or questions that students toss and then answer?

• A. Paper Pass
• B. Inside-Outside Circle
• C. Cubing
• D. Jigsaw

Answer: (C)

This item is about a kinesthetic, prompt-based discussion activity. The idea is to use a cube labeled with different commands or questions. Students toss the cube, look at the face that lands up, and then answer the prompt or complete the task on that face. The act of rolling the cube adds energy and unpredictability, which encourages quick think-on-your-feet responses and gives every student a clear, approachable way to speak, listen, and build language fluency. This approach supports language practice by providing immediate, varied prompts that target vocabulary, grammar, or content understanding in a low-pressure, interactive format. It keeps students engaged and gives them multiple chances to produce language in a short period. Other options don’t fit because they rely on different formats: one involves passing papers around rather than using a cube with prompts; another uses two circles and rotating partners without a dice prompt mechanism; and another centers on expert groups teaching others, which emphasizes collaboration and instruction more than quick, toss-and-answer prompts.
