Check For Understanding - 2

What is the primary purpose of daily review in a classroom setting?

• To introduce new material

• To entertain students at the start of class

• To reinforce previously learned content and identify gaps

• To reduce the need for assessments

Which of the following best describes spaced practice?

• Studying the same content for hours without breaks

• Reviewing material after increasing intervals over time

• Switching between unrelated subjects every 5 minutes

• Reviewing only the night before the test

Interleaved practice is most effective because it:

• Focuses on one topic until it's mastered before moving on

• Reduces confusion by keeping subjects completely separate

• Encourages comparison and discrimination between problem types

• Requires less time and mental effort

What is a key characteristic of checking for understanding during instruction?

• Assigning homework

• Waiting until the test to assess knowledge

• Using quick methods like questioning or exit tickets to gauge student comprehension

• Giving students free time

Which of the following is not a benefit of spaced practice?

• Improved long-term retention

• Enhanced short-term memory only

• Stronger neural connections

• Better transfer of learning to new contexts

An example of interleaving in math instruction might include:

• Practicing only multiplication for 20 minutes

• Mixing multiplication, division, and addition problems together

• Teaching one concept per day without overlap

• Using flashcards for vocabulary

Why is it important to check for understanding frequently during lessons?

• To punish students for wrong answers

• To take attendance more easily

• To adapt instruction based on student responses

• To prepare students for state exams only

What makes daily review an effective classroom practice?

• It allows teachers to introduce surprise quizzes frequently

• It helps activate prior knowledge and build automaticity

• It encourages students to rely on textbooks for answers

• It eliminates the need for homework

Which statement about spaced and interleaved practice is true?

• Students often prefer them because they feel easier

• They are only useful for advanced learners
  

• They improve learning even though they may feel more difficult

• They require the use of digital tools to be effective

A teacher asks several students to explain a concept in their own words. This is an example of:

• Giving a lecture

• Checking for understanding

• Direct instruction

• Project-based learning
