5. Open questions open minds
WHY:
Consider the difference between asking ‘what is the answer?’ and asking ‘what could the answer be?’ It is a simple change, but one that might help a less confident student choose to volunteer a response.
TRY:
If you detect some confusion, ask some open questions. This can help reveal the nature of misconceptions. Keep notes of potential answers and solutions (interactive whiteboards can keep a temporary record of any notes made) and then, when they have been discussed and progress made, you can go back to your notes and review them.
