482-193When to ask it
Drop it in right after you teach a fact or a rule, before moving to practice. One question every ten minutes keeps attention up better than a long quiz at the end.
A tip that helps
Write wrong answers that students really believe. Venus is a strong distractor here because it is the hottest planet, and the poll shows you how many picked it.
Reading the results
Ask someone who chose a wrong answer to explain their thinking, without naming them. The misconception behind a popular wrong answer is usually the thing worth reteaching.
