To help partner Sheenway for student accomplishment, it is important that you understand how to nurture critical thinking with homework, assignments, activities, quality time with the student, and parental and teacher personal growths, as we are the most effective examples the student(s) will ever have.

Ability to identify and describe basic pieces of information.

Choose • circle • count • define • describe • find • how • identify • know • label • list • locate • match •  memorize • name • outline • pick • point to • quote • read • recall • recite • recognize • record • repeat • retrieve • say • select • show • spell • state • study • tell • underline • view • what • when • where • which • who • why • write

Comprehending and confirming (looking at the meaning of the knowledge that has been gathered and drawing conclusions from it).

Ability to extend and elaborate on basic pieces of information.

Add • approximate • articulate • associate • calculate • categorize • characterize • clarify • compare • communicate • comprehend • conclude • contrast • construct • define • demonstrate • describe • discuss • distinguish • elaborate estimate example explain • express • extend • extrapolate • factor • generalize • give • identify • illustrate • infer • instantiate • interact • interpolate • interpret • map • match • model • observe • paraphrase • predict • relate • rephrase • repost • represent • restate • retell • rewrite • review • subsume • subtract • trace • translate • understand

Applying entails (using what has been learned in new situations).

Acquire • action • act out • adapt • alter • answer • apply • calculate • carry out • conduct • change • choose • compute • construct • delineate • determine • develop • do • dramatize • draw • employ • exhibit • illustrate • make • manipulate • modify • operate • organize • prepare • participate • perform • place • practice • predict • present • produce • put into • select • show • sketch • solve • respond

Analysis mastery is achieved by breaking down a concept or idea into parts and showing relationships among the parts. This requires knowledge and comprehension. You can mentor and assist the child to:

Analyze • ask • catalog • categorize • chart • classify • compare • contrast • correlate • decode • deduce • diagram • differentiate • dissect • distinguish • divide • document • edit • examine • explain • focus • group • identify • infer • inquire • inspect • inventory • monitor • observe • order • outline • parse • point our • proofread • reason • review • segment • select • sequence • sort • survey • transform

Synthesis mastery is achieved by bringing together parts (elements, compounds) of knowledge to form a whole and build relationships for new situations. This requires knowledge, comprehension, application and analysis. You can mentor and assist the child to:

Adopt • arrange • assemble • blend • build • collect • combine • compile • compose • concoct • connect • construct • coordinate • create • cultivate • design • detect • develop • devise • dictate • elaborate • establish • explain • form • format • formulate • frame • gather • generate • glean • graph • hypothesis • imagine • incorporate • integrate • interact • invent • judge • make • model • monitor • organize • participate • plan • portray • produce • publish • rearrange • refine • reorganize • revise • rewrite • summarize • synthesize • test • write

Evaluation mastery (application) is achieved by making informed judgments about the value of ideas or materials, and using standards and criteria to support opinions and views. This‚ requires knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, and synthesis. Students are expected to display independence in their use of math (across the curriculum) and choose the appropriate concept for application for a concept.
