Comprehension Level  Understanding or interpretation of information  define, explain, calculate, reword  Explain how to apply varnish to a table.

Bloom’s Taxonomy Application level  Applying knowledge and understanding to a new situation  solve, operate, use, handle, apply  Using a ruler, determine the square footage of the floor in this classroom. Analysis Level  Separate a complex idea into its components  categorize, simplify, examine, inspect, survey  Which Microsoft office application was used to create this presentation?

Bloom’s Taxonomy Synthesis Level  Combining knowledge to form a new idea.  create, build, generate, reorganize  Write or tell a new story using the same characters. Evaluation Level  Choosing an alternative in making a decision.  decide, classify, judge, prioritize, determine  Which salesperson provided the best customer service? Why?

Application Model Knowledge  Learning Knowledge, Attitude, or Skills  Learning how to use the Internet Apply in Discipline  Using the knowledge, attitude, or skills within the course curriculum  Searching the Internet to find information to complete a class project

Application Model Apply Across Disciplines  Using the knowledge, attitude, or skills in all discipline curriculums  Use the skills learned in the Microsoft Office class to prepare humanities report and presentation. Apply to Predictable Situations  Using information to analyze and solve real problems with predictable solutions  Read a recipe, measure and combine ingredients to make a birthday cake.

A B D C Rigor/Relevance Framework Express probabilities as fractions, percents, or decimals. Classify triangles according to angle size and/or length of sides. Calculate volume of simple three- dimensional shapes. Given the coordinates of a quadrilateral, plot the quadrilateral on a grid. Analyze the graphs of the perimeters and areas of squares having different-length sides. Determine the largest rectangular area for a fixed perimeter. Identify coordinates for ordered pairs that satisfy an algebraic relation or function. Determine and justify the similarity or congruence for two geometric shapes. Obtain historical data about local weather to predict the chance of snow, rain, or sun during year. Test consumer products and illustrate the data graphically. Plan a large school event and calculate resources (food, decorations, etc.) you need to organize and hold this event. Make a scale drawing of the classroom on grid paper, each group using a different scale. Calculate percentages of advertising in a newspaper. Tour the school building and identify examples of parallel and perpendicular lines, planes, and angles. Determine the median and mode of real data displayed in a histogram Organize and display collected data, using appropriate tables, charts, or graphs.
