Which questions should be asked in classroom talk in mathematics? Presentation and discussion of a questioning model

In this article, we focus on questions posed by the teacher in classroom talk in mathematics. Questions have been shown to be of great importance in developing productive classroom conversations and the students’ mathematical thinking. We present a questioning model with four different areas in whi...
