Set your goals?

Setting goals for your learning will create students that outperform students who do

not, they learn more. (Azevedo and Cromley, 2004)

Using metacognition is simple

• think about the key points of the ping pong relay activity and take notes.

• Write the three most important ideas of the activity on an index card.

• hand the card in• Check

Discussion to check on learning

ping pong relay

• "Now that you have completed the ping pong relay how quickly and easily can you create a hypothesis as a if, then and because statement.

• "Now that you have completed this homework, how quickly and easily can you identify the steps you use to solve a problem?

Check pg. 52-53• Data table complete

– Title, labels in grid pattern– Mean time

• Graph complete– 4 parts, key, title, y and x axis labeled correctly– Bar graph in color that connects to key

• Analysis of results– Uses Mathematical concepts, mean, to explain patterns– Identifies possible error in investigation

• Conclusion– 3 parts, restates and answers question, – states if hypothesis is supported or unsupported and why– Reflection how project can be extended into a related investigation

Self reflection

• “Now that you have completed the ping pong relay how quickly and easily can you create a hypothesis as a if, then and because statement.”

• "Now that you have completed this homework, how quickly and easily can you identify the steps you use to solve a problem?”

Check key points

1. The water and ball do not move until the runner picks up the bowl2. The runners movements cause the water and ball to move around in the bowl often causing the water to spill3. The biggest sloshes occur when the runner changes speed or direction going around the markers4. Acceleration occurs if its speed, its direction, or both change5. Velocity, speed in a direction

Using metacognition

• Students who believe that the ability to learn can improve over time earn higher grades, (Henderson and Dweck, 1990).
