  6. Attributes of Questions Closed Questions Interrogative; can you, did you , could you Would you consider …. Mediational Questions (pg. 58 first paragraph)

  7. PROBES/QUESTIONS (pg. 58) INVITATION COGNITION COGNITION INVITATION INVITATION TOPIC COGNITION COGNITION INVITATION

  13. Structure of Probes (pg. 58)

  14. Reflection Take a moment and think about tonight’s session, then write a probe that you are willing to share with us as a group of leaders of mathematics.
