  1. Developing Mathematical Thinking with Effective Questioning Presented by Jamal Hutchinson, Numeracy Coach

  2. Purpose of Effective Questioning • Teach independent thinking • Assess the level of students' comprehension. • Develop student interest or motivation. • Develop thinking skills. • Establish relationships between concepts.

  3. To help students build confidence and rely on their own understanding • Can you make a model to show that? Plot the points L(-4,2), M(-1,-1), N(2,2), Q(4,-1), and P(2,4). Then measure and classify the following angles as acute, right, obtuse, or straight. LMN, LMP, NMQ, LMQ

  4. To help students learn to reason mathematically • What assumptions are you making? Plot the points L(-4,2), M(-1,-1), N(2,2), Q(4,-1), and P(2,4). Then measure and classify the following angles as acute, right, obtuse, or straight. LMN, LMP, NMQ, LMQ

  5. To check student progress • Do you think this would work with other numbers? Plot the points L(-4,2), M(-1,-1), N(2,2), Q(4,-1), and P(2,4). Then measure and classify the following angles as acute, right, obtuse, or straight. LMN, LMP, NMQ, LMQ

  6. To help students collectively make sense of mathematics • Do you understand what question is saying? Plot the points L(-4,2), M(-1,-1), N(2,2), Q(4,-1), and P(2,4). Then measure and classify the following angles as acute, right, obtuse, or straight. LMN, LMP, NMQ, LMQ

  7. To encourage conjecturing • What are some possibilities here? Plot the points L(-4,2), M(-1,-1), N(2,2), Q(4,-1), and P(2,4). Then measure and classify the following angles as acute, right, obtuse, or straight. LMN, LMP, NMQ, LMQ

  8. To promote problem solving • What do you need to find out? Plot the points L(-4,2), M(-1,-1), N(2,2), Q(4,-1), and P(2,4). Then measure and classify the following angles as acute, right, obtuse, or straight. LMN, LMP, NMQ, LMQ

  9. To help when students get stuck • What facts do you have? Plot the points L(-4,2), M(-1,-1), N(2,2), Q(4,-1), and P(2,4). Then measure and classify the following angles as acute, right, obtuse, or straight. LMN, LMP, NMQ, LMQ

  10. To make connections among ideas and applications • How did you get your answer? Plot the points L(-4,2), M(-1,-1), N(2,2), Q(4,-1), and P(2,4). Then measure and classify the following angles as acute, right, obtuse, or straight. LMN, LMP, NMQ, LMQ

  11. To encourage reflection • How did you get your answer? Plot the points L(-4,2), M(-1,-1), N(2,2), Q(4,-1), and P(2,4). Then measure and classify the following angles as acute, right, obtuse, or straight. LMN, LMP, NMQ, LMQ
