KNOWLEDGE
Learn terms, facts, methods, procedures, concepts
Tasks Include - Draw, Recognize, Count, Group, Reproduce, Memorize, State, Tabulate, Identify, Point, Follow Directions
Examples
1. Can you identify the different place values in the metric system?
2. State the mode, mean, median, and range from your set of data.
3. How do you reproduce a circle using a compass?
COMPREHENSION
Understand uses and implications of terms, facts, methods, procedures, concepts
Tasks Include - Change, Classify, Convert, Estimate, Interpret, Measure, Put in Order, Show, Suggest, Express in other terms
Examples
1. Classify polygons by regularity, concavity, and line symmetry.
2. Explain how to convert between fractions, decimals, and percents.
3. What is your interpretation of the data expressed on the graph?
APPLICATION
Practice theory, solve problems, use information in the new situations
Tasks include : Calculate, Compute, Construct, Demonstrate, Derive, Graph, Manipulate, Operate, Practice, Prove, Solve
Examples
1. How do you calculate the percent of a given whole?
2. Solve for area of a rectangle by using A = l x B.
3. What information do you consider when graphing data derived from a survey?
ANALYSIS
Analyze structure, recognize assumptions, breaking down material into parts
Tasks Include : Break down, Deduce, Diagram, Distinguish, Formulate, Group, Order, Separate, Simplify, Sort
Examples
1. What methods can be used to compare and order fractions?
2. Analyze the relationship between variables on a graph.
3. What factors do you consider when formulating a plan for problem solving?
SYNTHESIS
Putting information together into a new and creative way.
Tasks Include : Construct, Create, Derive, Develop, Document, Generate, Integrate, Plan, Predict, Prepare, Propose, Specify, Tell
Examples :
1. Describe some patterns that you recognized in the construction of Pascal’s
Triangle.
2. What kind of table can you create that represents change in temperature?
3. What prediction can you make from this graph?
EVALUATION
Set standards, Judge with purpose, accept or reject on basis of criteria
Tasks Include : Appraise, Choose, Compare, Conclude, Decide, Describe, Evaluate, Justify, Measure, Validate
Examples :
1. Evaluate the expression after changing the order of operations.
2. Describe how to solve a problem using the 4 step method.
3. Justify your reason for choosing the strategy selected.
