For instance, with the associative property, the students will learn that they will receive similar answer to a problem, regardless the grouping of the numbers. As Vygotsky emphasized, (McDevitt & Ormrod, 2013, p.214), Adults engage children in meaningful and challenging activities, show them how to use various physical and cognitive tools to facilitate their performance, and help them make sense of their experience. During the instructional phase, I will provide the definition of Associative property, then I will write it on the whiteboard and reintroduce the activity they did earlier. In that way, every type of learner such as, visual, auditory and linguistic will grasp the concept of Associative property of multiplication. I will also explain the students the order of operation, PEMDAS; Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition and Subtraction. I will say to the students, when we are doing associative property and we are dealing with three numbers and there is a parenthesis or other operation involves, we have to always go back to the order of operation to help us decide which operations to do first. I will write an equation on the board and ask the students to try solve it in their group. On the whiteboard, I will write: 5x(4x1) and (5x 4) x1. During the phase of teaching, John A. Van De Walle (2010), …show more content…
The student’s assessment will be based on the individual work, their group, as well as their participation. But, most significantly, I will encourage students to evaluate their own learning, as well as their participation with their group members. By doing that, the students will feel they are involved in the lesson, and that they are not only observing information. McDevitt & Ormond (2013, p.269), make several recommendations for promoting self-monitoring and self-evaluation, such as encourage children to evaluate their performance realistically, and then reinforce them when their evaluations match an established

    In this essay it will explain about the similarities and differences between two units of Algebra 1, Unit 2 and Unit 4. Between Unit 2 and Unit 4 there are many similarities and differences in their lessons. In Unit 2 its lessons were based off of equalities, or equations, and in Unit 4 it is based off of inequalities. There are three main related lessons between these two units and they are, one-step equations to solving inequalities with addition and subtraction, multi-step equations to solving multi-step inequalities, and solving equations involving absolute value to inequalities involving absolute value. Finally, in this essay it will explain how these lessons are similar and different.…

    Bingo Order Of Operations

    To introduce the concept of order of operations to the students I would first write PEMDAS on the board which stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition and Subtraction. I would put brackets around M and D, and A and S, to show that they are grouped together in the order of operations. “One misconception by students is that all multiplication should happen before all division because the multiplication comes before division in the acronym. In fact, multiplication and division have the same precedence and should be evaluated as they appear from left to right.”(NCTM) I would explain to them that we are going to go over a few expressions using the order of operations then we are going to play a game of bingo using the order of operations.…

    In this process, the student first solves the problem and verbalizes the processes used, then writes he step-by-step process and identifies it on the model.” (Miles and Forchs, p. 6). While the teacher is helping the student along, he or she can monitor what areas the student might be struggling with. If the teacher is instructing a large classroom, this strategy might be better done in small groups. There is considerable evidence to indicate a that verbalizing upper level math problems has a pos6itive impact.…

    Section I: Reflecting on Assessing Prior Knowledge and Planning Instruction In order for students to be successful in this lesson, students must have had previous practice with basic addition and subtraction. Prior knowledge and experience with addition and subtraction equations, will be quickly reviewed at the beginning of the lesson, before getting started with the word problems. This information gathered from the review, will be used to assist students in understanding that we are still using addition and subtraction within the word problems. This information may also be used to help the teacher understand where each child is at within their skills, to give extra support as needed.…

    By incorporating and activating their background knowledge, math became a concept that they could understand through real life experiences. For example, I inquired about the number of wheels on a car. The students understood that each car had four wheels. I gradually went up to multiple cars in order to find how many wheels six car would have. The students were able to understand the concept of repeated addition (multiplication) through a discussion of an object that they were familiar with easier than reading a constructed word problem and…

    Based on the problems the majority got wrong the students don't have a good understanding of multiplication, division, equations and word problems. All 10 questions that were used in the operation session of this test involved using multiplication and division and some were presented either as an equation or in word problem form. Using the unwrapped standard method and breaking down what specifically the students need to learn in this standard will be very beneficial. This classroom would benefit from differentiated instruction in those areas to teach those things, and show the students different ways they relate and how to solve them. For example; showing the different ways that multiplication and division are inverse operations and relate to one another.…

    The importance in learning that fractions are in fact divisional problems and be directly compared to against a decimal number. It is at this stage that there is many opportunities to demonstrate the relationship between fractions and decimals. Educators are able to introduce the idea by working with smaller numbers asking to share three items between four people evenly. The students are required to find that they need to look at the three objects as parts of a whole so that it can be divided down into a multiple of four. When comparing it to its decimal counterpart, which identifies one hundred as a whole would state that each person would receive 0.75 of each whole item.…
