Hallman-Thrasher, Allyson; Spangler, Denise A. – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2020
We share ideas for preparing for and enacting high-cognitive demand tasks in ways that support students in articulating and justifying their ideas. We offer strategies for developing and posing several types of purposeful questions: (1) eliciting thinking, (2) generating ideas, (3) clarifying explanations, and (4) justifying claims.
