Abstract
As part of a study investigating effective numeracy practices, the types of questions
asked by teachers during a series of mathematics lessons were examined. The
findings indicated that the types of questions teachers asked influenced the nature of
the students’ responses and that probing questions were particularly utilised to
encourage student explanations.
