Workbook Details

When you are helping someone with math, instead of doing the answers for them, it can help to ask the right questions that will stimulate mathematical thinking so that they can work the problems out themselves. This guide provides strategies and examples of questions to ask, categorized into open-ended questions, strategy-focused questions, solution-focused questions, and sharing and comparing questions. With patience and time, this approach can help students learn to solve problems themselves, even when they aren’t sure at first how to tackle the problem.
