1. In general, how successful was the lesson? Did the students learn what you intended for them to learn? How do you know?

Consider different aspects of your planning and execution of the lesson in light of the domains and components on the following pages. Determine evidence, if any, for each of the components, and what that evidence demonstrates about your level of performance.

Domain 1: Planning and Preparation - I planned prior to teaching this lesson. I made sure to read the lesson given to me over and over so that I understood each and every protion of it correctly. I know the level that my students are capable of reaching in math and knew that they would do well with this lesson. I also designed my lesson in a way that I knew would be beneficial to the students.

Domain 2: The Classroom Environment - I used classroom procedures that were specific to me and that I knew would work for my students. I also used the physical space of the classroom well by letting them work with their partners anywhere in the room, meeting at the carpet and using their original seats.

Domain 3: Instruction - I communicated with students well by using their names and relating the lesson to them. I questioned them and discussed the strategies that were going to be used in that days lesson. I also adjusted my lesson when technology would not work
