What makes a good distractor in a multiple-choice classroom question?

A good distractor is a plausible wrong answer that reflects a common misconception, so a wrong choice tells you what a student is confusing. Avoid options that are obviously false, since they reveal nothing about understanding.

How many questions should a formative check have for one lesson?

A short check of about 5 to 10 questions is usually enough to see whether students grasped the main ideas. Use the results to decide whether to reteach before moving on.
