Abstract

Many children find mathematics tests ‘scary’ because they perceive them as high-stake assessments of their capacity to handle complex methods and formulas. Usually, tests and exams include questions designed to assess a student's understanding of a specific topic. But are questions only for testing and evaluation? A closer look reveals that questions have the potential to accomplish much more. For example, Socrates used questions to explore complex ideas, challenge assumptions, and pursue wisdom.
