Fatimah owns 3 of the cats, Siti owns the other 2, and Zul is the master of the remaining cat. Fatimah’s cats have a total mass which is twice as much as Siti’s cats. What is the mass of Zul’s cat? Can Advanced Reasoning help us to find out how heavy 2's cat is? Not really, the info given i not straightforward (have many hidden data to find).

SUMMARY. From this series of examples, we can see the way Depth of Knowledge (DOK) questions are designed to involve a certain complexity. These questions are actually not difficult, but relate to a kind of thinking, action and deeper knowledge that engage the higher levels of thinking. Question 1(a) and 1(b): Knowledge and application skills (Basic Reasoning) required, that is DOK Tier 1 Question 2: Visual presentation and visual analyzing skills (Intermediate Reasoning) required, that is DOK Tier 2 Question 3: Visual reasoning and creative thinking (Advanced Reasoning) required, that is DOK Tier 3 Question 4; Visual reasoning and critical thinking (Extended Reasoning) required, that is DOK Tier 4 The above examples of mathematical problems explain what Depth of Knowledge (DOK) is. To develop students’ Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) effectively, the structure of DOK questions must be designed systematically. With this, students will also learn to sharpen their Reasoning Skills. Many may not be aware that Reasoning Skills is one of the most important elements in HOTS. Reasoning is the action of thinking about something in a logical, sensible way and to find an answer to a problem by considering possible options.
