Critical Thinking
I have had to use Bloom’s Taxonomy in my classroom for the past year. Here is an example of a lesson using Bloom’s Taxonomy.
If I am teaching PEMDAS these are the steps I take to cover all 6 areas of Bloom’s Taxonomy.
Knowledge: Identify the correct order of operations to start solving the problem.
Comprehension: Explain why this is the best way to tackle the problem.
Application: Solve the problem using the steps that the student has chosen.
Analsis: Break it down into pieces by parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition and subtraction.
Synthesis: I will assign homework for them to create their own order of operations problem.
Evaluation: It is up to the student to assess their problem for accuracy.
