Good mathematics teaching demands that teachers gain insight into what students understand and what struggles overwhelm students. This insight is often provided through well designed assessments and effective questioning. PBS Teacherline has developed a concise list of effective questions(pdf) that teachers can keep near/inside their lesson planners so that they can purposefully embed them into their lessons. Which questions do you like to ask most often and why? (Archived list of effective questions)
