CLASSIFICATION PRINCIPLES EVALUATION

DESCRIPTION SEQUENCE CHOICE

To describe something you need to be able to classify,

a description of triangles in Maths requires understanding the types of triangles

A description of games in PE requires understanding types games, strategies and equipment

We create order informed by our understanding of principles behind the order. We create sequences because we know what we’re trying to achieve:

Instructions for lab reports (Science)

Mathematical solutions (Maths)

Baking (Food Technology)

In order to make a choice, one has to be able to evaluate available options. We have to understand how these options are justified.

In a salt-and-sand mixture (Science) we do not pick salt with tweezers; we use understanding of solubility to wash the salt out.

There are three kinds of dogs that I like best. I like Pugs because they are companion dogs and have cute faces. Boston Terriers are on my list because they are intelligent and not too big. I also like Golden Labrador Retrievers because they are faithful, loving, and fun to play with.

There are three types of triangles: equilateral, isosceles and scalene. Equilateral triangles are made up of three equal sides and three equal angles. Isosceles triangles are made up of two equal sides and two equal angles. Scalene triangles are made up of unequal sides and unequal angles. Scalene triangles look the most unsymmetrical.
