~ Module 15, Session 4~
Activity 1

Directions: Work as a group.

Each member in the group should practice oral communication that is based on the Principled Knowledge strategy.

Each member should choose one topic in algebra and geometry.

For instance, in algebra, one topic is evaluation of expressions (e.g., what is the value of x2 + 1 if x = 1 and x = -1).

How can we use the Principled Knowledge strategy to teach this task?
