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

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
