Hi Angela,

I liked your second link that lists some math prompts. I thought that some of these were very good because they were so reflective in nature. A teacher could learn a lot about a student by knowing the students thoughts about some of these topics. It could reveal the student’s fears, anxieties, struggles with studying, etc. Thanks for sharing this.
