emonstrate Your Understanding
Apply it and show you know in context!
There are key steps in the LPM that are very critical for effective and efficient learning: use of prior
knowledge (Prerequisites), language development (Vocabulary), Thinking Critically, and generalizing
(Transfer/Application). Here are some prompts that will help you focus on these key steps; respond to
each for every Topic/Focus:
a. What do I already know that will be useful in learning this new knowledge?
b. What are the key words and their meanings?
c. What are the important questions that need to be answered so that I understand the knowledge?
d. How do I generalize this knowledge to produce transferable knowledge?
1. Apply these questions to two things in mathematics that you already know
Topic/Focus 1
Topic/Focus 2
2. Select something in this book that you have not yet worked with and see if you can answer these
questions
Topic/Focus
3. Find an article in a newspaper that mentions or includes some aspect of mathematics that you don’t
understand clearly. Try to answer these questions with reference to that article.
