Metacognition (thinking about thinking) is the feedback loop or the "little voice in your head that you hear when you do Math -- such as add 4 to each side and divide both sides by 2".
Self-awareness of knowledge and skills can be achieved by categorizing Math problems into types of problems. The ability to identify problem types can refine learning and bring clarity while increasing the enjoyment and flow of Math opportunities. This is especially important in Math as gauging the level of challenge can help students know what to study and how to invest their time and energy under peak perfromance coniditions (tests).
It is a problem that they call them problems -- so how about Math opportunities?
