Asking Questions in First-Grade Mathematics Classes: Potential Influences on Mathematical Thought.
Perry, Michelle; And Others
Journal of Educational Psychology, v85 n1 p31-40 Mar 1993
Types of questions asked in first-grade mathematics classes in Japan, Taiwan, and the United States were investigated. Observations of 311 lessons by 16 Japanese, 20 Taiwanese, and 33 U.S. teachers suggest that the kinds of questions asked in Taiwan and Japan contribute to more sophisticated mathematical knowledge.
