The Power of Questions

Amanda Cullen, writing for Mathematics Teacher Learning and Teaching PK-12:

"The questions that a teacher asks a student and how the teacher follows up on the student’s response can support the student’s development of a positive mathematical identity and sense of agency as a thinker and doer of mathematics"

I love to see quotes like this, especially from math teachers. Teaching is not just about getting the right answer, but about nurturing students’ beliefs in their own capabilities, fostering their agency, and shaping their identity as confident problem solvers.
