Five probing questions that are directly aligned to the math standard and are used as pre-assessment and formative assessment questions.

Part 2: Reflection

In 250-500 words, provide a reflection that explains how using questioning strategies builds on prior instructional sessions, encourages student content exploration, and develops problem solving strategies. How are questioning strategies used as a guide to determine appropriateness of instructional resources and curriculum materials in order to adapt instruction?
