Abstract
As part of the Learner’s Perspective Study (LPS), three competent mathematics teachers were studied for periods of ten lessons each. Data were collected using the complimentary accounts methodology. Since teacher questions are viewed as a critical teaching tool by many researchers and educators, the different types of questions posed by the teachers during their lessons were studied. An attempt was made to link the types of questions and the teachers’ pedagogical goals. This paper will share with the participants the methodology used and respective findings.
