Throughout the past hour, I think my 8 year old has asked me about 50 questions. 😆 I hope she keeps that curiosity throughout school! #elemmathchat

A6: Even though as educators we usually do know most of the answers.... don't let the kids rely on you for those answers. You are there to clarify and connect the understanding, not to just feed them information to repeat.

A5 - The confidence boost that I saw in many of my students was the best feeling ever! Second biggest impact I saw was the mathematical discourse in my room.... the kids were TALKING about math, even when I didn't ask questions. ❤️

We do what we do as teachers for the kids... it's all about the kids. So, how does working on my questioning skills help them? Q5:

A4 - It's all about the climate and culture. I know... BUZZ .... buzz words. I am just speaking from experience though. Once I made my students feel safe in my room, they OPENED up. They knew I valued their voice and they knew it was the process, not the answer that we celebrated.

Q4 - I hear often " I ask questions, but the kids won't answer? They just want to sit there." What must happen before students will ever feel comfortable answering our questions?

A3 - A few examples are given in the image. Some of these questions help us plan for the student response and other help us plan for OUR response to the student progress and understanding.

When we plan quality tasks for our students to tackle, an important step in the planning phase is to anticipate how students will solve and respond to the selected task.
Q3 - What key questions help us as educators anticipate student responses to a task?

A1- So many great question prompts to pick from. Sometimes the simpler, the better! My top go-to question is simply "Why?"
Early in the year kids assume they are wrong if I question them, but they learn quickly that questions are safe in my room! 😀
