What is a modification? changes the task, making it more accessible to the student

What is teaching ABOUT problem solving? involves teaching students how to problem solve, which can include teaching the process (understand, design a strategy, implement, look back) or strategies for solving a problem.
What is teaching THROUGH problem solving? students learn mathematics through real contexts, problems, situations, and models.
What is practice? different problem-based tasks or experiences, spread over numerous class periods, each addressing the same basic ideas.
What is a drill? repetitive, non-problem-based exercises designed to improve skills or procedures already acquired.
What is iteration? measuring the same desktop with a single index card by repeatedly moving it from position to position and keeping track of which areas the card has covered

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
