FTCE Math K-6 Q&A
Cooperative\Collaborative learning - (correct answer)Ways of organizing the classroom,
supporting and facilitating students' development.
Learner Centered Instruction - (correct answer)Being advocated and supported by the
constructivist learning theory as a framework.
Educational coaching or Scaffolding - (correct answer)Used to provide guidance and
support to a student as he or she learns, without limiting the student's investigation
abilities.
Think alouds - (correct answer)A student or teacher say out loud what he\she is thinking
about when reading, solving math problems or simply responding to questions and
make mental process.
Peer tutoring - (correct answer)Students work together in pairs or small groups to
master academic skills or content as well as social development.
Problem based instruction - (correct answer)Students actively solve complex problems
in realistic situations and emphasize the use of a problem solving problem.
Simulations - (correct answer)Simulations are a form of experiential learning or scenario
where students interact in a reality defined by a teacher.
Games - (correct answer)Involve competition social interaction, and some form of prize
or award at the end of the game.
Role playing - (correct answer)Students act out characters in a given "situation."
Manipulatives - (correct answer)Tools used to help students internalize mathematics
concepts and skills.
, Help students work with abstract ideas at a concrete level.
Manipulative example - (correct answer)Algebra tiles Attribute blocks
Balance scale Base ten blocks
Capacity containers Centimeter Cubes
Chronometers Clocks
Color tiles Compasses
cubes Cuisenaire rods
decimal squares Fraction tiles\circles
Geoboards Hands on equations
Multilinks Pattern blocks
Tangrams Two color chips
Unifix cubes
Level 1 Content Complexity - (correct answer)Recalls information
Ex: Student writes a list of keywords they know about geometric shapes
Level 2 Content Complexity - (correct answer)Basic application of concepts and skills
EX: Students make model of geometric shapes they know and shares them with the
whole class.
Level 3 Content Complexity - (correct answer)Strategic thinking and complex reasoning
EX: Student makes a Venn Diagram that shows how two topics are the same and
different.
Level 4 Content Complexity - (correct answer)Extended thinking and complex reasoning
EX: A student finds a mathematical solution by applying information in a novel manner.
