Application

Our student is progressing nicely. The next step is application or applying their knowledge and comprehension. As our pupil strings letters together into words and then sentences they are beginning the process of learning to write. As they take numbers and add, subtract, multiply, and divide them they are calculating new values. The next thing you know they are doing calculus and inventing artificial intelligence. Hopefully, having mastered these foundational skills, they will use their higher order thinking skills to make good decisions.
