• At the beginning of the class period, Mr. Aasby flashes the odd answers to the homework on the projector because they are given the even answers. Everyone asks questions pertaining to the questions they got wrong on their homework assignment. After everyone has had their questions answered, they took a homework quiz that consisted of three homework questions. He quickly moved onto the lesson, and taught the students how simplify expressions by adding the exponents, but only if they are alike terms. After they had done example problems, he gave the class the rest of the time to work on their homework.
• The overall role of the teacher was to lead the students through the lesson, so they can understand the objectives. Mr. Aasby sat at the back …show more content…
It shows the long, detailed process of how x^4 multiplied by x^5 is equal to x^9. It also gives very good examples and sample problems for students to attempt, or to assign as homework.
• The Lion and the Bird is a story that describes how these two completely different animals become friends, but the bird eventually flies away to rejoin his flock, and the lion rejoins his pack. Eventually, these two animals cross paths again and rekindle there relationship while remaining apart of there flock/pack. Functions that contain variables with exponents are very similar to this story. They can remain friends and stay in the same function, but they can not be added together because they are two completely different things.
• In this kit, the students are given cards with a shape on either side of the card. They have to match up the shapes that are similar until they make a train that contains every single card. This is similar to exponents. When there are multiple different variables in a function, only the exponents with the same variable can be conjoined, just like matching up the …show more content…
You also have to plan activities that pertain to these objectives and relate to the students, so the students will understand the content. As a teacher you also have to check that the students understood the material fully, by asking questions or reviewing certain aspects. You want them to not only be able to remember the content, but to also be able to apply the material to a variety of different problems. One of the benefits of this particular lesson is that it was laid out in a way that made it very comprehensible for the students. Another benefit is that it moved at a quick enough pace which gave the students some time to work. One of the limitations is that the lesson is not collaborative at all, and the students rarely ask questions and sometimes they complain because Mr. Aasby doesn’t give them a chance to solve the problems for themselves. It also gets very repetitive and long for the students, because I can see them daze off or start to do little things like draw in their
