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.
