      It can be described as a process of thinking to learn
    2. BA process of thinking that goes from the effortful to the routine and the automatic. It allows from higher and lower order thinking
    3. CManaging motivation allowing learning to be scaffolded, this is external to internal regulation
  2. 2What is self-regulation?
    1. AThis is external to internal regulation and involves the scaffolding of learning, the aim is for this to be automatic and therefore it needs motivation and perseverance
    2. BAllowing teaching strategies to succeed and makes the process of learning explicit as it promotes discussion about mathematics.
  3. 3Why is metacognition important?
    1. AIt allows for the application of mathematical skills, knowledge and understanding.
    2. BIt allows teaching strategies to succeed and makes the process of learning explicit as it promotes discussion about mathematics.
    3. CLearners can take ownership of these strategies and figure when to chose and use different strategies for different problems.
    4. DCan identify patterns of mistakes, misconceptions or misunderstandings.
  4. 4What does Brown 1980 argue?
    1. AThat learnerscan take ownership of these strategies and figure when to chose and use different strategies for different problems.
    2. BThat metacognitive skills are the voluntary control people have over their own cognitive processes. This includes prediction, planning, monitoring and evaluation.
  5. 5What are strategies to plan within metacognition?
    1. AKey steps and clear goals to allow for visualisation - make sure the objective is understood and that children can explain it. You can also use talk partners to identify key steps for problem solving allowing for visualisation and brainstorming.
    2. BProgress check - children can be set reminders of the progress they should be making on the problem
    3. CUsing notes and diagrams - flow charts, maps, tree diagrams
    4. DComprehension monitoring - self or peer questioning
  6. 6What are strategies to monitor within metacognition?
    1. AComprehension monitoring - self or peer questioning
    2. BKeeping on track - children can identify the tricky bits and identify how to deal with these. Keep on track mats can also be used.
    3. CWhat worked and what didn't - strategies to improve when working on a simular problem next time.
    4. DUsing notes and diagrams - flow charts, maps, tree diagrams
    5. EProgress check - children can be set reminders of the progress they should be making on the problem
  7. 7What are strategies to review within metacognition?
    1. ACheck criteria against outcomes - use effective time to talk
    2. BProgress check - children can be set reminders of the progress they should be making on the problem
    3. CWhat worked and what didn't - strategies to improve when working on a simular problem next time.
  8. 8How does metacognition help problem solving?
    1. AIt allows for the application of mathematical skills, knowledge and understanding.
    2. BCan identify patterns of mistakes, misconceptions or misunderstandings.
    3. CIt allows teaching strategies to succeed
    4. DChildren can hear default mathematical language
    5. EIt assess children’s fluency
    6. FAllows for informal assessment
    7. GAllows for formal assessment
  9. 9What are some difficulties that children face during problem solving?
    1. AReading the question
    2. BUnderstanding the context
    3. CKnowing the calculations
    4. DUnderstanding the language
    5. EShowing the method and recording
    6. FPutting the answer into context
    7. GUnderstanding the methods
  10. 10What are the challenged associated with metacognition?
    1. ATask difficulty
    2. BIncorporating problem solving
    3. CWhat to focus on
    4. DPlanning
    5. EGetting the level of support right
