A good essential questions
1.     Is open ended; it typically will not have a single, final and correct answer
2.     Is through-provoking and intellectually engaging, often sparking discussion and debate
3.     Calls for higher order thinking, such as analysis, inference, evaluation, prediction.
4.     Points toward important, transferable ideas within disciplines
5.     Raises additional questions and sparks further inquiry
6.     Requires support and justification, not just an answer. 
7.     Recurs over time; the question can and should be visited again and again

McTighe and Wiggins are about a particular kind of question—one we call "essential." So, what makes a entettainment exercise to examine the characteristics of an essential-question?]]> 2016-07-06 22:53:21 UTC https://padlet.com/isilalsancak/um6s2e4hmf1/wish/116027398 isilalsancak https://padlet.com/isilalsancak/um6s2e4hmf1/wish/116028263 6 D's]]> 2016-07-06 23:24:32 UTC https://padlet.com/isilalsancak/um6s2e4hmf1/wish/116028263 isilalsancak https://padlet.com/isilalsancak/um6s2e4hmf1/wish/116028990 6D's in Solution Fluency]]> 2016-07-06 23:48:20 UTC https://padlet.com/isilalsancak/um6s2e4hmf1/wish/116028990 isilalsancak https://padlet.com/isilalsancak/um6s2e4hmf1/wish/116029271 Goal]]> 2016-07-06 23:56:14 UTC https://padlet.com/isilalsancak/um6s2e4hmf1/wish/116029271 Are you teaching your students to solve real-world problems? isilalsancak https://padlet.com/isilalsancak/um6s2e4hmf1/wish/116029868 As a math teacher I want to use real word problems and essential questions in all my topics. I use it as starter at the beginning of my lesson by using a big question or using an activity in the lesson. Real word applications are very important in math and students enjoys if they are involved the project. I generally use real world problems in applications part. After reading 6D’s I discovered that how important they are. All of them have a specific role in my students learning journey. ]]> 2016-07-07 00:11:31 UTC https://padlet.com/isilalsancak/um6s2e4hmf1/wish/116029868 Do your students know how to design or ask essential questions? isilalsancak https://padlet.com/isilalsancak/um6s2e4hmf1/wish/116039220 My students have never designed and asked essential questions but sometimes they are using these questions. I need to point out these questions and they will be able to realize essential questions.  ]]> 2016-07-07 04:40:17 UTC https://padlet.com/isilalsancak/um6s2e4hmf1/wish/116039220 References isilalsancak https://padlet.com/isilalsancak/um6s2e4hmf1/wish/116040049 Crockett, L., Jukes, I., & Churches, A.

All of them have essential role in solution fluency. In dream and discover part students are very busy with their project to create their own work. Teacher is just a facilitator. ]]> 2016-07-07 05:19:39 UTC https://padlet.com/isilalsancak/um6s2e4hmf1/wish/116040381 Essential Question I can use in my classes? isilalsancak https://padlet.com/isilalsancak/um6s2e4hmf1/wish/116040397 ·      Is there a rule in the list of following numbers?
·      How can we find these rules?
·      Why algebra is import?
·      How can we model these data?
