Prediction
In this first stage, students predict their capability to solve the problem. They do this by rating how confident they are in their answer. After answering each question (i.e., solving each problem), students predict how confident they are in their answer. If they are sure that they have solved the problem correctly, they rate their confidence as high. If they are unsure of their answer, they rate their confidence as uncertain. If they do not think that they have solved the problem correctly, they rate their confidence as low.
