Thinking like a Genius

Bloom's Taxonomy is a breakdown of the six levels of thinking, from the lowest level to the highest (with a example):

Knowledge: Knowing a fact. Knowing 2 + 2 = 4 . Doesn't mean you know what 2+2=4 means.

Application: Knowing how to use the fact. I can determine that 2 cats plus 2 cats equals 4 cats. You don't know what 2 +2 =4 means, but you can apply it.

Comprehension -- Understanding a fact: You understand the concept of addition and how 2 + 2 = 4.

Analysis -- breaking down information into its parts. 4 - 2 =2 ; (1 + 1) + (1 + 1) = 2 + 2 = 4

Synthesis -- creating something new , writing a book, etc.


Evaluation -- Discussion of the merits of 2 + 2 = 4
