Formative assessment

Write quiz questions that catch common student misconceptions

This prompt helps a teacher write multiple-choice questions that bring out common student misconceptions. It asks for the subject, topic and year level and which errors you've seen, or suggests well-known ones. Each question names the misconception it targets, uses it as a distractor and explains the correct reasoning. You get a set of questions plus one or two teaching strategies for each misconception.
