1. How changing instruction modality affects student observations? Does continuously changing types of instruction help or are certain topics understood with specific types of instruction?
2. Does the amount of homework (practice) help student understanding?
3. Can frequent review improve students’ long-term understanding of topics?
4. Cumulative vs. non-cumulative instructions, review, and testing.
5. Working in groups: should students’ always be allowed to choose when they want to work with others? 
6. Calculators – to what extent should they be used in lessons and practice?
7. How much time should be focused on using technology within a math classroom? (Graphing tools, Touch pads, interactive programs, etc.)
