Research Reveals
•Most math problems come from textbooks
•Pre-service teachers have little exposure to creating and developing authentic problems
•The focus is on memorization and procedures instead of reasoning and critical thinking
•Understanding mathematics is directly connected to the creation and exploration of questions

•93% of teacher questions are knowledge based focusing on recall of facts.
•The National Council for Teachers in Mathematics encourages teachers to increase student participation by “posing questions that elicit, engage, and challenge student’s thinking.
