  • What did you learn from solving this problem?
  • Is this the most important question to ask when solving the problem?
  • What questions need to be answered before answering this question?
  • What does this presume?
  • When you ask these and similar questions, you are encouraging your students to move from passive to active learning.
  • Avoiding Questions Easily Answered on the Internet
  • The following examples are referred to “Google-Proofing” in some circles.
  • the frequency of questions is not as important as the quality of questions.
  • the following are factors to consider when asking students questions.
  • The average level of questions asked by teachers are 60 percent lower cognitive, 20 percent procedural, and 20 percent higher cognitive. 
  • Increasing the frequency of higher cognitive questions to the 50
  • With predominate use of lower cognitive questions; students tend toward lower achievement
  • The use of higher cognitive questions tends to elicit longer student answers in complete sentences, quality inference and conjecture by students, and the forming of higher level questions.

    Encouraging students to use critical thinking is more than an extension activity in science and math lessons, it is the basis of true learning. Teaching students how to think critically helps them move beyond basic comprehension and rote memorization. They shift to a new level of increased awareness when calculating, analyzing, problem solving, and evaluating.

    I love the Wolfram Alpha site, if it does ignite another math war, then I'm OK with it. I think what it means is that we have to ask students different questions, ask them better questions, make them create their own problems, interpret their answers, decide what methods are most efficient and why, but don't stop asking them questions just because some are going to use the available tools.

    Scientists have for the first time established a link between a primitive, intuitive sense of numbers and performance in math classes, a finding that could lead to new ways to help children struggling in school.

    This website is K-12 with algebra tiles, fractions and interactive games on the computer. It also has a "grapher" that graphs up to 3 functions. I use it to find x and y-intercepts of lines or parabolas
