Direct modeling with physical objects
Guessing
Online resources
How can teachers differentiate instruction to support all students in problem-solving, according to Chapter 8?
By assigning the same problem to all students
By giving advanced students more complex problems while providing struggling students with easier ones
By providing specific, individualized feedback based on each student’s current understanding and strategies
By avoiding group discussions
The classroom is balancing students' developmental needs with the curriculum's demands.
Which of the following best describes how CGI addresses this challenge?
Using pre-designed lesson plans that follow a strict, traditional sequence of topics
Teachers abandon the curriculum in favor of creating entirely new problems based on students' current understanding
Differentiating instruction and progressively increasing the complexity of problems to match their developmental stages.
Teachers should prioritize procedural knowledge over conceptual understanding
True or false: The launch is the teacher’s opportunity to engage students in context and the mathematical ideas.
True
False
The launch is the ideal time for
To introduce a new strategy
To check students’ homework
To make sure students understand the problem they are about to engage
To solve the given problem
What is the primary goal of Cognitively Guided Instruction?
To focus on rote memorization of mathematical facts
To develop students' problem-solving strategies based on their current thinking
To increase students' speed in solving mathematical problems
To teach mathematical procedures without considering students' thinking
How do children generally model bigger problems?
Bar modeling
Building up and building down
Doubling
Direct modeling
What is one characteristic of an effective word problem?
The problem should always have a single, correct solution method
The problem should be designed to match the child's level of cognitive development and prior knowledge
The problem should be as complex as possible to challenge the student
The problem should require memorization of specific facts or formulas
Which strategy is NOT mentioned in chapter 8 as a way children solve problems?
Trial and Error
Using Counters
Predicting outcomes
Online simulations
Why is it important for children to model problems with physical objects?
It’s the only way to solve problems
It helps them visualize relationships
It leads to quicker answers
It complicates their understanding
Which is true?
Strategies that children construct are grounded in fundamental properties
Modeling can be used flexibly
Modeling plays a central role in problem solving at all levels
Children do not naturally attempt to model the action in problems
When a child has difficulty with a problem, it is due to
Not enough practice
They can not figure out how to model it
The problem is too complex
They didn’t do their homework
Ted has 15 ladybugs. He puts three ladybugs in each jar. How many jars did Ted put ladybugs in?
(use modeling to solve)
Sarah has 3 times as many marbles as John, who has five marbles. After giving away ten marbles, Sarah buys twice the number of marbles that John has. Then she gives away another eight marbles. How many marbles does Sarah have left now?
(use modeling to solve)
