Edufrienz Executive Functions Workbook: Strand 10- Metacognition

The Edufrienz Executive Functions Workbook: Strand 10- – Metacognition helps children develop skills to think about their own thinking. It introduces metacognitive strategies that foster self-awareness, self-monitoring, and reflection. These strategies guide children in planning and evaluating their learning processes.

Children practice key reflection skills: remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, and evaluating. They are guided to ask themselves, “How am I doing?” and “How did I do?”—nurturing habits that support lifelong learning and self-growth. Activities also encourage persistence, flexible thinking, and solution-focused approaches.
