Small collection: metacognitive activities for different ages

Primary (concrete):

• “Two-minute plan” before an activity (draw steps).
• Color-coded monitor cards.
• Exit smiley-face reflection: “I did it / I almost did it / I need help.”

Middle years (concrete → abstract):

• Learning log with prompts: plan, one monitoring note, final evaluation.
• Peer “strategy swap” — teach your partner one strategy you used.

Secondary / adults (abstract):

• Strategy comparison assignment: try two strategies for same task, document time, accuracy, comfort, and choose which to use next time.
• Metacognition portfolio: students track one course-long skill and their evolving strategies.
