Questions - 1 short step away from comprehension.

• Questions are the best! I encourage questions because I know that if your student recognizes what they are struggling with and can formulate it as a question then they are just one short step away from understanding. Students that can ask questions are more engaged in the learning process and invariably learn more. That is o.k. if your student can't formulate a question on a given day or is shy.  I'll be happy to ask the questions and with increased confidence and success in math students soon start coming up with their own theories and formulas as to patterns they see in math and then I know they are well on their way to success in math!
