This is a really good resource of over 40 challenging questions which will get your students thinking and discussing their answers and methods.
When you are being observed (well anytime really but...) you need to be going around the groups challenging them on their thinking. Obviously there is only one of you so it's good if you can give them the prompts for their discussions. These resources will help this.
I have been told many times that a lesson plan should contain detail of the key questions which you are going to ask during the lesson. Some of these questions were put on my last observed lesson plan and it showed that I had thought about what I was trying to achieve from the students.
The original file I created was the Publisher file which has five key questions which I printed on A4 and gave one copy to each table of four. One student then challenges questions to the other three. You can move this role around the table. This work quite successfully but it relies on a certain amount of routine from the students so it does require you training them.
Recently I've collected a load of questions to add into the list. I've tried to be comprehensive to cover many different circumstances. There are a few similar to each other but I've added much to each one to try to develop the understanding. They are presented in a table format so it would be easy for you to pick out the questions you most want to ask and amend them if needed. Alternatively you could print out & cut up the cards and then simply pick out the ones you want.
I have also now just picked out the eight questions myself from the list of 41 and put on A4 ready for printing onto card. These are probably the ones I would use.
I would give each table a set of eight questions and each student would have to pick two cards which they would then either challenge themselves on or use to challenge the others.
I think that this is a good resource and I'll be grateful if you could write a positive review if you find it useful. Thank you.
