Defending your thinking

How do you know?

What makes you say that?

These two questions are becoming the norm for the students in the classroom.  These questions push the students to think about their learning, when answering questions, solving problems and moving through their critical thinking development by providing evidence for their thinking.  Guessing without thought is out the window.  Here a few students share their thinking in math and students can make observations about strategies, ask questions for clarification and even challenge their peers thinking.
