As well as explaining the activity for the day, I have projected the problem on the whiteboard. In the activity set-up stage, students get to ask questions about what they are meant to be doing.

I use the "hands-up if you want to speak" rule - Malaysian boys can be rowdy and simply call out, not allowing the quieter girls to speak - so this allows everyone in the class an opportunity to ask questions.
