Resources for Questioning

Five must-have resources for Questioning

1.  From Effective Questioning to Deeper Understanding Online Course

While asking questions may seem a simple task, it is perhaps the most powerful tool we possess as teachers. Knowing that effective questioning is the foundation for successful implementation of logical reasoning in the classroom, four opportunities for questioning have been identified (Texas and Jones 2013). One of the biggest challenges facing today’s educators is addressing more rigorous standards that have now been adopted by many states. Students are required to develop deeper understandings of their content. Whether it is a contextual problem to solve in mathematics, a scientific investigation to perform, a piece of text to analyze, or interpreting historical events students are engaging in logical reasoning. A good question can excite, disturb, or comfort, and eventually yield an unexpected bounty of understanding and critical awareness.

This course will look at four key ideas relating to questioning:

  • What is Effective Questioning?
  • Types of Questions
  • The Four Opportunities for Questioning
  • Questioning in Action

Along the way, we will look at why we ask questions.  What are effective questions?  Identify different types of questions that are most often used by educators.

Participants will have the opportunity to work with Tammy in learning how to design effective questions. Participants will see how educators can incorporate the use of effective questions in their daily instruction.

A questioning structure and a bridging model that allows students to learn to create questions themselves will be shared. Many samples of questions that span across all disciplines will be shared as well.

The Top 5 Reasons for Using Manipulatives in the Classroom   Have you ever asked or said or heard a fellow educator ask or say… “Exactly what constitutes a manipulative?” “I have some of these manipulatives in my closet, but do not have a clue how to use them!” “How do I find the time […]

Happy National National Chocolate Day: October 28thChocolate Day!

National Chocolate Day: October 28th My grandmother always said, “God was in a good mood the day He created chocolate!” I grew up thinking that chocolate was a basic food group! And, I admit, chocolate is one of my weaknesses. What does National Chocolate Day have to do with mathematics!   Well – where’s the math? […]

NCTM, San Francisco

My colleagues and I really enjoyed your presentation at NCTM.  We have already convinced our principal to pre-order us copies of your new book, but we would also like 4 class sets of the pyramids. 

Many presentations talked about problem solving and the benefits of giving students higher level thinking problems, but yours was the only one that really told us how to teach it and scaffold it for students, rather than just modeling what problem-solving looks likes.  Thanks.
