Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Bloom’s Taxonomy is a classification system developed in 1956, by educational psychologist Benjamin Bloom to categorize cognitive skills and learning behavior.

Bloom’s Taxonomy identified six levels within the cognitive domain, from the simple recall or recognition of facts, as the lowest level, through the more complex and abstract mental levels, to the highest order, classified as evaluation. These six levels are: (1) knowledge, (2) comprehension (3) application, (4) analysis, (5) synthesis, and (6) evaluation

1. KNOWLEDGE: this is the lowest of the taxonomy, where by people simply memorize, recall, list, and repeat information. For example: a child memorizing multiplication table such as 2 x 2 = 4

2. COMPREHENSION: . this is where people get to classify, describe, discuss, and explain information. For example: an individual being able to explain how 2 + 2 = 4

3. APPLICATION: at this third stage, people demonstrate, interpret, and apply what they have learned and are able to use the information to solve problem For example :an individual applying knowledge of mathematics such as addition and subtraction, in performing transaction.

4. ANALYSIS: this is a stage where people assess, relate, contrast, and distinguish what they have learned with other information. For example: an individual analyzing what s/he knew or similar knowledge, such as Mathematics with Statistics or Physics.

5. SYNTHESIS: this is a stage closer to the highest level, where people create a structure or pattern from diverse elements, and are able to put parts together to form a whole. For example: an individual creates or define a hypotheses on a particular subject.

6. EVALUATION: The top most stage, where people make judgments about the value of ideas or materials at their disposal.

For example: when an individual must have tested his hypotheses, he can either make it a principle or theory from it, modified it for another theory or finally discard it.
