"Some teachers have argued that essential questions may work fine in certain subjects like history, English, or philosophy but not in skill-focused areas such as mathematics, chemistry, reading, physical education, and world languages". (p. 112) At first I agreed 99% with this statement. After speaking with my coach I realized the questions are there, but it requires a copious amount of thinking. Also, coming up with essential questions is difficult because in elementary and junior high school, I have been taught math skills by following rules and not by thinking.
