A bright idea for responding when kids say “I don’t know”

Great idea on what to do when kids say I don't know from the minds of many great educators.

If you did know, what would you say?

Variations on this include:

• I understand you don’t know. What would you say if you did know?
• What part do you know for sure?
• Pretend you had a choice of answers: which one would you pick?
• What would be your best guess if you did know?
• What are the possibilities?
