My 6th grade math teacher would often ask questions to students when teaching, the idea being that students would lead themselves to the solution/ideas then it would stick better. I do the same when tutoring students one-on-one in Calc 1 and below math. One drawback is asking too many questions in succession can become exhausting for students so sometimes there needs to be a healthy amount of both instruction and questioning or there needs to be breaks.
