Lesson involving metacognitive skills

Math lessons will be a great way to work on metacognitive skills and problem solving. Word problems when the solver doesn't know the method can improve these skills. Part of cognitive learning is realizing some things are harder to learn that others. Self regulation is a skill students need to work on and this becomes helpful on tests that are timed. Students need to be aware how much time they can spend on a problem before they move on or they need to be able to plan for a project. A lesson that comes to mind is a list of word problems like the ones that we were given in class. Some were easy to solve, some we didn't have all the information for and some took multiple steps. Students must know how to activate problem solving and apply many different types of math to find the answer. The can apply what they know and ways to solve it whether its drawing out pictures, using imagery or counting on your fingers. Each learner learns differently and they need to be aware of how they learn best. I am a visual learner so I would need to have manipulatives or possibly pictures to work on word problems. I have attached a link that I used to check my understanding of metacognitive skills. It has a 7 step check list of how to help students with work problems. I thought this would be a helpful resource in the future.
