Item 1 | Â | Â | |
 | Metacognitive | When I study for a mathematics test, I try to work out what the most important parts to learn are. | |
 | Elaboration | When I study for a mathematics test, I try to understand new concepts by relating them to things I already know. | |
 | Memorization | When I study for a mathematics test, I learn as much as I can off by heart. | |
Item 2 | Â | Â | |
 | Metacognitive | When I study mathematics, I try to figure out which concepts I still have not understood properly. | |
 | Elaboration | When I study mathematics, I think of new ways to get the answer. | |
 | Memorization | When I study mathematics, I make myself check to see if I remember the work I have already done. | |
Item 3 | Â | Â | |
 | Metacognitive | When I study mathematics, I start by working out exactly what I need to learn. | |
 | Elaboration | When I study mathematics, I try to relate the work to things I have learnt in other subjects. | |
 | Memorization | When I study mathematics, I go over some problems so often that I feel as if I could solve them in my sleep. | |
Item 4 | Â | Â | |
 | Metacognitive | When I cannot understand something in mathematics, I always search for more information to clarify the problem. | |
 | Elaboration | I think about how the mathematics I have learnt can be used in everyday life. | |
 | Memorization | In order to remember the method for solving a mathematics problem, I go through examples again and again. |
