A Literacy Approach to Fundamental Math Knowledge
Restated Definition & Supporting Example

Mathematics!
Benjamin Bloom’s Taxonomy defines Fundamental Knowledge
Application Level: Using Basic Knowledge to Solve Problems
Comprehension
Level: Restated Definition & Supporting Example
Memorization

The following
pages attempt to provide
simple examples for teachers to use
as
checklists to assess
student’s Fundamental Knowledge of Mathematics.
A. Students
should be able to provide
restated

with
supporting/concrete examples which is conceptual
