You don't want to ask the student not to answer because he is the type of student who if you did that he would probably find some other way to be disruptive and then he wouldn't be paying attention at all. Plus, chances are that if he were not yelling out the answers, no one else would have. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Waiting for all of the students to think of an answer is very important. If this students continues to yell out the answers than it is doing a disservice to the other students in the room. The other students are only bored because this student is the only one being permitted to participate. Perhaps, you could make this student in charge of pulling sticks out with each student's name on them and then calling on them. This way he would be participating, engaged, and the other students would be able to participate.
