Narrator: In this video, an elementary student uses metacognitive
strategies while solving an addition problem. More specifically, he

00:00:08,620 --> 00:00:17,840
uses self-instruction and a self-monitoring checklist to guide himself
through the problem-solving process. By doing so, he actively plans

00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:19,330
and monitors his work.

00:00:20,900 --> 00:00:31,900
Student: I can't figure out what 3 + 5 is. What is it? Well, let me
look at my checklist.

00:00:31,900 --> 00:00:48,770
First, it says, "read the problem." The problem says 3 + 5, so I've
checked that. Now what is…now it says…my checklist says,

00:00:48,770 --> 00:00:57,390
"What is the problem asking?" It's asking me to add 3 + 5.

00:00:57,390 --> 00:01:18,630
Now, to draw a picture. One, two, three. One, two, three, four, five.

00:01:18,630 --> 00:01:34,220
Now it says, "Does my drawing match the problem?" Up here it says 3 +
5, so down here it says one, two, three, one, two, three, four, five.

00:01:34,220 --> 00:01:48,700
Now I have to solve it. So one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight. The answer to 3 + 5 is 8.
