Certainly, the Bloom's levels can sometimes seem "fuzzy" and a given task can be applied to different levels within Bloom's Taxonomy. But the above examples give a good overview of how mathematics skills can be used at each of the levels.
Doug, a good set of examples here. You used the "classic" Bloom's levels - the revised ones also have "Creating" on top. What do you think about it?
