__________ is a time to confirm success and/or correct any problems that may occur prior to independent practice.

• A. Guided practice
• B. Warm-up
• C. Review
• D. Closure

Answer: (A)

Guided practice focuses on ensuring students can perform a new skill with support before they work independently. In this phase, the teacher models the task, students try with help, and immediate feedback is provided to confirm understanding and correct any mistakes. This bridge from instruction to independent work helps solidify skills and build confidence, making the transition smoother and more successful. A warm-up is usually a quick activity at the start to activate prior knowledge, a review revisits material after instruction to reinforce learning, and closure wraps up the lesson at the end.
