The quality of teacher-student discourse is a critical mediator of mathematical learning, with teacher questioning being its most potent tool. In primary mathematics, where the foundation for higher-order thinking is laid, a preponderance of low-cognitive demand questions (focused on recall and procedure) persists, potentially stifling the development of genuine problem-solving skills. Understanding the specific relationship between questioning patterns and student problem-solving behaviors is essential for effective teacher professional development.
