poly-gents Active learning prompt bank
Read learning-objectives-and-bloom-alignment first.
Prompts (pick 2–4 per session)
- Predict — "Before we derive X, what do you expect the sign of Y to be?"
- Justify — "Which assumption did we use in this step?"
- Compare — "How is this different from the lemma from Tuesday?"
- Teach-back — "Explain the algorithm to your partner as if they missed lecture."
- Peer instruction — MC conceptual question → vote → discuss → revote.
Output
- A prompt deck tagged by Bloom level and topic.
- Timing notes (solo vs pair vs whole class).
- Common failure modes and follow-up probes.
