An example of contextualized learning, using the think aloud method–student takes time to produce the words he is looking to express. Teacher coaches and other student helps. The student then uses motions in the repetition of recalled expression.

Pre-Algebra Think Alouds

Posted by Jan Connal on July 6, 2009 in Making Visible, Math, Metacognition, Student Voice, Think Alouds, Video Evidence with 1 Comment

This video shows several students solving the same pre-algebra think aloud. The Cerritos College FIN Team is looking for statements revealing student metacognitive self-regulation (see elements and example statements below).

Metacognitive Self-Regulation Elements

Problem Analysis (“This problem is asking ….”)

Strategy selection based on problem requirements (“I need to make a table.”)

Intentional use of strategy (“I’m going to avoid careless mistakes.”)

Self-evaluation (“How does my equation relate to the information given?”)

Strategic adjustments given perceived progress (“Let’s step back and take a break to rethink our approach, given data provided.”)
