Use a question matrix to encourage students to ask different types of questions about topics they have studied. Students can create questions at different levels to self-test or quiz each other. A template in their books allows students to plan progressively deeper thinking questions as they move through a unit of work or project.

1. Sharing Teaching and Learning Ideas
Half Term Four Focus: Assessment
Key Idea: Use a question matrix
Encourage students to ask a variety of different questions about the topic they have been
studying. These could be used to self-test, or to quiz each other; students could have a copy
of the template in their books to plan progressively deeper thinking questions as they move
through a unit of work / project.
