Teachers use a variety of questions while students are working and during whole-class discussion to assess their mathematical ideas and advance their thinking toward the learning goal.
The teacher uses open-ended questions and peer responses to assess understanding and advance student thinking toward the learning goal throughout the lesson.
The teacher uses open-ended questions available in the curriculum to assess mathematical ideas and advance student thinking toward the learning goal throughout the lesson.
The teacher may experiment with using open-ended questions. The questions may be unrelated to the learning goal, or difficult for students to respond to because they are confusing or there is a lack of wait time.
The teacher poses some of the suggested questions from the curriculum, but may modify them to reduce their rigor.
The teacher asks mostly closed questions that recall definitions, procedures, or one-word answers, rather than open questions that reveal student ideas or thinking.
