Posing mathematical questions

Attending to and using structure

Thinking in equal groups

Sorting, organizing, and using attributes

After the class has discussed the questions above, you can extend this activity by posing the following questions:

Is there a question about this image that you’d like to spent time investigating?

How could you explore that question?

Note: Following up on the questions that students wondered as a class can lead either to asynchronous work, in which individual students explore the questions of their choice, or synchronous work, in which the class agrees on a shared question to explore together in small groups or pairs.
