Abstract
The purpose of this study is to implement strategies that increase student motivation and participation by teaching them how to ask questions that require higher-level thinking. For this study, students will complete a KWL chart, as well as a three-act task, which allows them to self-regulate their learning. Participants will engage in a classroom survey which will allow me analyze their overall thoughts and feelings towards the KWL chart and three-act task, I will also be able to determine if the participants were able to learn the intended math concepts by completing these two activities.
