Make a multiple-choice question under the REMEMBERING level of the revised Bloom's Taxonomy for the topic Classify polygons according to the number of sides, whether they are regular or irregular, and whether they are convex or non-convex.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for multiple-choice questions that assess students' ability to classify polygons based on specific attributes, following the REMEMBERING level of Bloom's Taxonomy.
Answer
Creating and reviewing multiple-choice questions focused on polygon attributes for assessing student knowledge.
Answer for screen readers
The answer includes creating multiple-choice questions such as the following:
-
What type of polygon has three sides?
A) Quadrilateral
B) Triangle (Correct Answer)
C) Pentagon
D) Hexagon -
Which of the following is always true about a rectangle?
A) All sides are equal
B) It has four right angles (Correct Answer)
C) It is a polygon with an odd number of sides
D) It has three sides -
How many sides does a hexagon have?
A) 4
B) 5
C) 6 (Correct Answer)
D) 7
Steps to Solve
-
Identify Polygon Classification Attributes
Start by determining the specific attributes you can use to classify polygons. Common attributes include the number of sides (triangles, quadrilaterals, etc.), side lengths (equal or unequal), and angles (acute, right, obtuse). -
Generate Multiple-Choice Questions
Create different questions based on the identified attributes. Each question should have one correct answer and a few distractors. For example:
"What type of polygon has four equal sides?"
A) Triangle
B) Quadrilateral
C) Rhombus
D) Pentagon -
Ensure Questions Align with Bloom's Taxonomy
Check that each question requires students to recall information (REMEMBERING level). This could involve straight definitions or identifying examples. -
Review and Revise Questions
After drafting the questions, review them for clarity and difficulty. Ensure that they are understandable at the appropriate grade level and adjust any that may be misleading or overly complex. -
Test Questions with Peers
Share the multiple-choice questions with a peer or another educator to ensure they effectively assess classification of polygons and complement the remembering level as defined in Bloom’s Taxonomy.

More Information
These questions assess students' ability to recall definitions and characteristics of polygons, fitting the REMEMBERING level of Bloom's Taxonomy. They should help evaluate students’ basic understanding of polygon classification.
Tips
Common mistakes might include:
- Providing vague questions that confuse students about polygon categories; this can be avoided by being specific in question wording.
- Including too many similar-sounding distractors, which can mislead students; differentiation in options can clarify the questions.
