A student is given an opportunity to practice what has been learned during which step in the lesson plan?

• A. Preparation
• B. Exploration
• C. Application
• D. Evaluation

Answer: (C)

During the application phase, students actively use the new knowledge or skills in tasks that require them to apply what they’ve learned. This stage is specifically designed for practice—working on problems, performing procedures, or completing activities that transfer understanding to real or meaningful contexts, with feedback to guide correct ways of doing things. Preparation sets the stage by introducing goals and materials, exploration invites investigation and sense-making, and evaluation checks understanding after the practice. Since the student is given the chance to practice what has been learned, the opportunity occurs in the application stage.
