Sharon,this is a very cool presentation.I just want to add my two cents.I found that by analysing the features demonstrated by questions generated by grade 3 students, I found that advanced students tend to make up more varied problems than their less competent peers in term of ranges of number, number of operations and length of the expression.So I see posing problems is linked to some mathematical ablity which would produce differences in results. I do see the strength of promoting problem posing in math classroom, and I will look more of how to differentiate the activity to fit with different ability.
