Abstract In an explorative research project, teachers experimented with new ideas to make their students discuss (i.e. show, explain, justify and reconstruct their work) their mathematical ideas with each other. Two kind of special tasks were developed: group tests and mind maps. Also, the role of the teacher was studied in order to evoke discussions between students. In this workshop, tasks and results will be presented, experienced and discussed.
