The Workshopping of Concept-Specific Open-Ended Questions is arguably the easiest and most powerful strategy to enable a class of students to grasp specific mathematical concepts. And once proficient, it requires zero prep!
This course gives insight into concept-specific Open-Ended Questions, why they powerfully promote conceptual understanding, and how to create them.
However, the key to this approach is the workshopping aspect, a technique many maths teachers are unfamiliar with. This course walks participants through, step-by-step, the workshopping aspect.
The Workshopping of Concept-Specific Open-Ended Questions will give you unlimited ideas across every topic and year level and will have you implementing 'tomorrow'.
“This has been the most positive practical PD in mathematics that I have undertaken. It has given me direction in my desire to change from the traditional teaching of mathematics and given me hope that there is a better way and I can develop an understanding of mathematics. Thanks, Richard. ”
Paul Neilsen, Sophia College, QLD.
“I really liked the self-paced aspect, and that the videos were just the right length to engage me. It was really good to force myself to do something I sort of already did, but in a more purposeful manner. Ie, I was forcing myself to do THAT sort of question, instead of doing it by accident or as a by-product of something else. ”
Ciaran Quinn, Aurora College, NSW.
“I found the course simple to get through. It was just the right length. I found myself remembering things that I had forgotten to use. It was a nice nudge. I really liked seeing others' ideas. Thanks for a doable relevant course. ”
Susanna Trikilis, Aurora College, NSW.
“Good format, great concept. I particularly liked that it forced me to actually develop the questions myself, so now I feel more comfortable making my own (as opposed to having a limited set someone else had made). The comments also kept me accountable for finishing the learning and reflecting on my experiences. ”
Helen Spencer, Aurora College, NSW.

You will need to spend at least a couple of hours on the content plus an hour or two gaining confidence in creating suitable OEQs and preparing yourself to implement the approach.
The Workshopping of concept-specific Open-Ended Questions is a unique and simple yet powerful activity. There is no valid reason why any maths teacher who encounters the approach would not want to implement it.
