When assigning a challenge in Mathletics, you’ll be prompted to select the appropriate year group and DOK, indicating the depth of knowledge of each task. Here’s a closer look at Norman Webb’s DOK framework:

✅ DOK Level 1 (Recall) 
Requires the recall of information such as facts, definitions, rules or recall of simple procedures such as algorithms or formulas.

✅ DOK Level 2 (Skill/Concept) 
Requires thinking beyond a habitual response; students will need to make decisions as to how to approach the problem or activity.  

✅ DOK Level 3 (Strategic Thinking) 
Requires planning, using evidence, explanation and a higher level of decision-making and reasoning to approach a non-routine task.  

✅DOK Level 4 (Extended Thinking) 
Requires investigative skills; students make connections between related concepts and ideas as they explore, experiment and provide evidence for their solutions.
