I want students to be able to use the Habits of


Students will be able to identify the Thinking about Mind so that they are able to problem solve and
Thinking (Metacognition) Habit of Mind and use these skills in real life situations.
understand the importance of it in math and real
life.

END OF LESSON ASSESSMENT


How will you know whether your students have made progress toward the objective?

- I will observe each table and identify if my students are thinking about thinking based on the
questions that they are asking each other
- I will observe and identify if the students are asking each other leading questions that will help

tablemates
What did you do first?
What clues did you have that you were on the right track
