9. Information www.cpm.orgwww.cpm.org (mobile friendly site) Students are engaged in problem-based lessons structured around a core idea. Guided by a knowledgeable teacher, students will interact in groups to foster mathematical discourse. Student might say, “I don’t get it.” Teacher responds with “What is the problem asking you to do?” or “Describe what you have already tried.” Questioning techniques assist in understanding while also holding them accountable for their thinking process.
