Originally developed by Frank T. Lyman (1981),<ref>{{cite periodical |last=Lyman |first=F.T. |year=1981 |title=The responsive classroom discussion: The inclusion of all students |periodical=Mainstreaming Digest |volume=109 |page=113 |place=College Park |publisher=University of Maryland Press}}</ref> think-pair-share allows students to contemplate a posed question or problem silently. The student may write down thoughts or simply just brainstorm in his or her head. When prompted, the student pairs up with a peer and discusses his or her ideas and then listens to the ideas of his or her partner. Following pair dialogue, the teacher solicits responses from the whole group.<ref name="Schul, J.E. 2011"/> Teachers using this technique don't have to worry about students not volunteering because each student will already have an idea in their heads; therefore, the teacher can call on anyone and increase discussion productivity.
