Questioning and discussion is used in order to deepen your students' understanding of the material. These should be used to bring about connections about previously learned lessons by the students. Questions are to be used to challenge your students' minds. Questions can either be open ended or have a limited amount of answers. Either way, questioning challenges students to think for themselves. As a teacher, it is important to remember to formulate questions that all students will be capable of answering rather than just a few students. Class discussions are used to engage the students during class time. This allows students to develop a deeper understanding for the lesson by voicing their own opinions and ideas. Use both questioning and discussions in the classroom for the benefit of all the students.

Here are the elements of Domain 3b:
- Quality of questions/prompts: Using high quality questions helps your students to think and reflect on their own. By providing only a few of these types of questions, we are allowing our students ample time to fully discuss all aspects and ideas that the question embodies. Low-level questions are used to review of tests. Repeating these facts will help the students to memorize them for the test.
- Discussion techniques: Teachers should have students use the technique of "I said x" when their is discussion going on. This promotes learning through discussion.
- Student participation: Teachers must ensure to use a range of different types of questions to engage ALL of the students in the discussion.
