Hinge Questions
Objectives

HINGE QUESTIONS
A Hinge question is based on the concept that it is critical for pupils to understand key topics
before moving on
The idea behind Hinge Questions
As the teacher you become more aware of the progress of individual pupils.
Tasks are targeted accurately to their level of understanding
As you teach, the students level becomes more apparent and then you can tailor the lesson to their needs
Ultimately each student should therefore be challenged because they are given appropriately pitched tasks.
Timing of hinge questions
The question should fall about midway during the lesson.
Every student must respond to the question within two minutes.
You must be able to collect and interpret the responses from all students in 30 seconds

(Stone) – it shows me the number crates I need to sell to cover my costs
