HOT Question Stems

Welcome to the Higher Order Thinking (HOT) and Question Stems resource page! This section is designed to help educators cultivate deeper thinking and problem-solving skills in their students. Higher Order Thinking goes beyond memorization—it challenges learners to analyze, evaluate, and create, fostering critical thinking and real-world application.

Here, you’ll find a variety of HOT question stems that you can incorporate into your lessons to stimulate discussion, encourage inquiry, and promote thoughtful responses. These resources will empower you to design lessons that inspire students to think critically, engage deeply, and grow intellectually.
