Questions to Develop Metacognition by Chew Chong Kiat https://padlet.com/chewchongkiat/y0t2wpvqafz6yv6k Describe how the Task develop metacognition? en-us 2021-10-22 04:57:16 UTC 2023-04-16 16:01:23 UTC hello@padlet.com chewchongkiat https://padlet.com/chewchongkiat/y0t2wpvqafz6yv6k/wish/1850199837 2021-10-28 03:32:31 UTC https://padlet.com/chewchongkiat/y0t2wpvqafz6yv6k/wish/1850199837 Madeleine mchew10sch https://padlet.com/chewchongkiat/y0t2wpvqafz6yv6k/wish/1858247248 "Why" questions are included in the task. The "why" questions get students to reflect how the graphical features observed are related to the algebraic function. Hence, enhancing their understanding of the relationship between the two forms.]]> 2021-11-01 08:49:12 UTC https://padlet.com/chewchongkiat/y0t2wpvqafz6yv6k/wish/1858247248 Ho Lun https://padlet.com/chewchongkiat/y0t2wpvqafz6yv6k/wish/1858248048 Asking students to 'explain why' gets students to think about how they derived their answers and to list out their thinking process on paper

Students will zoom in to focus on the effect of the slight variation on the graph and its properties]]> 2021-11-01 08:49:54 UTC https://padlet.com/chewchongkiat/y0t2wpvqafz6yv6k/wish/1858248316 Students are made to be aware how changing certain aspects of the function will result in a change in the turning points while still remaining minimum points. Steers them to understand the relation between certain features with certain changes in the function. Desmos helps to lighten the cognitive load. https://padlet.com/chewchongkiat/y0t2wpvqafz6yv6k/wish/1858249756 2021-11-01 08:50:54 UTC https://padlet.com/chewchongkiat/y0t2wpvqafz6yv6k/wish/1858249756 "Explain" allows students to make their thinking visible https://padlet.com/chewchongkiat/y0t2wpvqafz6yv6k/wish/1858249912 2021-11-01 08:51:01 UTC https://padlet.com/chewchongkiat/y0t2wpvqafz6yv6k/wish/1858249912 ms_amy_wu1 https://padlet.com/chewchongkiat/y0t2wpvqafz6yv6k/wish/1858250293 The reflection questions at the end of the worksheet that ask students to describe their thinking process make students' thinking visible. Students are also required to think through the questions they did and make some generalization to consolidate their thinking.

Asking What and Why help them to reflect on what they learn and provide reasons to substantiate what they believe. ]]> 2021-11-01 08:51:37 UTC https://padlet.com/chewchongkiat/y0t2wpvqafz6yv6k/wish/1858250726 Li Mei ng_li_mei3 https://padlet.com/chewchongkiat/y0t2wpvqafz6yv6k/wish/1858250787 What promotes metacognition? 
(1) Begin with the basic form y=x^2 and slowly vary (with small number) in the vertex form  
(2) Use of Desmos to lighten the metacognition load in sketching 
(3) Repeat question to identify the type of turning point, its coordinates and line of symmetry 
(4) Generalization after 4 examples 

What qn were asked to developed metacognition?  
(1) At Generalization: "Why?" "Explain why" (Reason), "What if" 
(2) Translation from use of Desmos to without Desmos; apply "Predict explain check and reflect"


Desmos as a tool for checking after prediction ]]> 2021-11-01 08:51:40 UTC https://padlet.com/chewchongkiat/y0t2wpvqafz6yv6k/wish/1858250787 Annetta https://padlet.com/chewchongkiat/y0t2wpvqafz6yv6k/wish/1858251134 1) The overview structure of the task is designed based on the 'predict-explain-check-reflect' structure, which ties the sequencing of questions very logically.

2) Asking the 'why's' and guiding students to describe their sketches to compare and contrast is also a path towards promoting metacognitions.

generalized form is typically daunting for students. with VT, it is much more easily arrived at.

Later on Desmos is used to help them check for understanding. Desmos is useful here so that students can do self-marking.]]> 2021-11-01 08:52:52 UTC https://padlet.com/chewchongkiat/y0t2wpvqafz6yv6k/wish/1858252350 "Why" is a strong questioning technique and it allows students to think aloud https://padlet.com/chewchongkiat/y0t2wpvqafz6yv6k/wish/1858253471 2021-11-01 08:53:44 UTC https://padlet.com/chewchongkiat/y0t2wpvqafz6yv6k/wish/1858253471 An extension would be to include Quadratic expressions of the form (2x-1)(x+3) https://padlet.com/chewchongkiat/y0t2wpvqafz6yv6k/wish/1858255367 2021-11-01 08:55:11 UTC https://padlet.com/chewchongkiat/y0t2wpvqafz6yv6k/wish/1858255367
