Students guess answers to one or more questions. They receive a clue or more information and guess again.
This method trains students to engage actively with questions and move from guessing to understanding.
Share the question with the students.
Students guess the answer individually or in groups and write down their responses.
Provide a new clue, perspective, or additional information.
Students adjust their answers if they wish.
Reveal the correct answer, if there is a factual one. Summarise with the class and discuss why it is the answer.
Choose questions that challenge students’ assumptions and spark curiosity.
Students can write down their reasoning for answers.
Ask individuals or groups to share and justify their guesses.
Consider having students create statements or questions for each other.
Discuss how students qualify their knowledge—distinguishing fact from intuition.
