- What are examples of an advanced organizer?
- KWL, 4 square, sort & predict, venn diagrams, Brainstorm & catogorize & Concept Mapping
- What do advanced organizers do?
- They give you a preview of what's to come and use familiar concepts to old. Distinction of knowledge
- Why do we use advanced organizers?
- THey provide a clue and a link in our minds. the help imbed new informaiton into our long term memory

- What is small group learning that maximizes own & other children's learning called?
- cooperative learning
- What are some valuable teaching methods one could use in lesson planning?
- Demonstration, Discovery Learning, Thematic Approach, Simulation & Games
- What typs of teaching method allows children to explore & view a new task from a different perspective (community memeber)
- Demonstrations
- What type of teaching method allows students to develop a hypothesis, to answer questions, propose issues/ gather data & observe?

- What type of teaching method puts all of the subject areas together?
- Thematic Approach
- Give an example of thematic approach
- Patterning
- What can help pre-writing,warm0up exercises to flow smoothly?
- Begin with a question listing process. Identfiy all of the questions that might be interesting to explore
- What should we know about research projects?
- SHould not be topical in nature.(as most are) where the main skill is gathering info. GO FIND OUT ABOUT IT begins with questioning.
- If you start with questioning, what happens to a research project?
- Eventually leads to higher order. Who was the best general.... leads to gatheirng of info to a student judgement based upon criteria. Also could be, choose a dilemna, present both sides, draw a personal conclusion.

- What is the best way of teaching mathematics?
- Problem Solving - questiong approach of How could we go about this? FInd, reaso n their way toward the answer to the problem.

- The knowledge they bring to the classroom. Relevant knowledge real life knowledge. beliefs
- What is the basis for all instruction for mathematic?
- Mus be expereinces especially experiences iwth manipulative materials.
- Is mathematics meaningful?
- Yes and it must undrlie instruction. The use of minipulative mateirals and real-world application illustrates this.
- Is there a place for cooperative learning?
- Working toetrher must become a normal procedure. Peer teaching and cooperative learning
- What are 3 problem solving strategies?
-
1. Act it out (themselves or with materials - allows to visualize information needed)
2.Make a drawing/ diagram
(real life, draw a map,rearranging a room)
3. Look for a pattern - - What is the four stage model of problem solving?
-
first, understand the problem
2. devise a plan for solving it
