Super handy resource book that should be accessible in any elementary school pd library. Contains a few very brief chapters about the elements of "good" questions, how to create them, and how to most effectively use them in your classroom. The bulk of the book, though, offers examples of questions. They are organized by topic (money, fractions, decimals, place value, counting and ordering, operations) and leveled by grade within each topic. Can't wait to refer back to this throughout the upcoming school year.
