Metacognition--thinking about thinking (Click here for a short video.)
As you work through this document, you will increase your learning by:
e Before reading the explanation, rework the problem, and ask yourself:
o What type of question is this? (For example: standard
deviation, interpreting the slope...)
o What key words helped you identify the type of question?
e Now, check your answers and explanations. Ask yourself:
o Why did | miss this question?
m Did | know all the terms?
m Did | forget a step?
o How can | apply this to future questions?
e Watch the recommended video.
o Pause the video and work the problems ahead of the instructor.
e Quiz yourself on what you learned. Can you remember the key parts
of this problem and work it correctly when you redo it later today or
tomorrow?
These questions help you identify your process to do a question and help
you to do similar problems on the assessment. You are thinking about your
