What's the question? (WTQ)


These activities have been supplied by  from Robertsbridge Community College.  They are designed to promote independent learning.  

The activities contain a diagram which is presented to the learners with a minimal amount of explanation.  Following a discussion, various questions and avenues for investigation will arise.  The area of investigation is not pre-determined; students should be encouraged to explore their own avenues of investigation. The activities are designed to encourage independent learning and a spirit of curiosity and investigation.

Before presenting these activities, teachers should have considered which questions and investigations may arise, and which ones may or may not be fruitful.  If you would like to share which questions/investigations you followed, please post them on the blog and we will include them here.

  • WTQ 1: rectangle diagonal
