Away from the hustle, bustle, report and marking of the term, I find myself with some time to really think about how I am going to present the upcoming material to each year group.Dusting off "Questions and Prompts" by Anne Watson and John Mason, under whom I was fortunate enough to train, I remembered all the wonderful ways to phrase questions that we'd looked at on my PGCE. Now to make sure they became a part of every lesson...
So as an additional to the PTTF (Planning to Teach Framework) I have created a Planning to Question Framework (PTQF) based on the ideas in this book. Following their categorisation, the framework is split into 8 sections:- definitions
- examples and counter-examples
- facts, theorems and properties
- techniques
- conjectures and problems
- explanations, justifications, reasoning, proofs
- representation and notation
- links, relationships and connections
On the right are a few ideas for probability, coming soon to a Year 7 class...
The original file can be downloaded and adapted from here.
Work in progress examples can be found in the PTQF folder here.
