This gives students a question and four potential answers; they must choose the correct answer and then explain what the three wrong answers have done incorrectly. Topics include simplifying expressions, expanding brackets, factorising expressions and solving equations with the variable on one side. I have purposely only highlighted the correct answer and not suggested what has been done incorrectly with the other solutions so students (and staff) aren’t tainted by my personal thinking and develop their own. I am hoping this will lead to some great mathematical discussions in the classroom.

An awesome set of questions designed to probe students to think about possible misconceptions.
excellent
Another great resource - could use as mini plenary/whiteboards/exit ticket, etc. All allow the opportunity for discussing the misconceptions. Thank you.
