I'm thinking of making a page in the front of our interactive notebooks that has questions students can ask / sentence starters / etc. A poster would be a good idea, too!

We were discussing how we can incorporate proofs throughout the year through student questions like the one "so the abbreviation of a state is always the first and last letter of the state?" We would write the idea on the board until it either became a true proof through several problems or disclaim when we found one that didn't fit the mold. <br /><br />But I completely agree with getting students to ask better questions. This year my personal growth plan was for me to use more questioning techniques but next year I want the responsibility to shift to the students. In my 8th grade class, we do more problem solving to pull out skills and ideas. I have seen in a teacher's classroom a sign she made of different questions or comments students can ask themselves, their peers, or the teacher.
