Interactive Choral Response

Improved Essays
• Introduction: In order to help students become engaged and motivated I will begin class with an interactive choral response activity, which will help students with their fluency. I will explain to students that we will count to 20 both backwards and forwards and in order to know whether to count up or down students will need to watch my hands/fingers for the signals. When I point my finger up students will count forward, when I point my finger down students will count backwards, and when I make a fist students will stop. I will then tell students to count to 20, but this time they will whisper every other number and say the other numbers in a regular voice. Students will then hum every other number instead of whispering every number and after we will discuss how we just skip counted by 2s. (3-5 minutes)
• Procedures: Students will then be given an application question, which is provided by their math curriculum: There are 83 girls and 76 boys in the third grade. How many total students are in the third grade? All year students have been using the CRA (concrete-representational-abstract) or the RDW (read, draw, write) technique. Students will show higher order thinking by moving from concrete items, to representational drawings, to abstract or symbolic forms and be able to comprehend the relationship between the three. This application question

We will go over the worksheet as a class and I will ask students to do things in order to get them to reflect on their learning for the day. I will ask students things such as: “discuss the relationship between repeated addition and the unit form 2 groups of three or 3 groups of two, [depends on the drawing], and discuss the relationship between repeated addition, unit form, and the multiplication sentence 3x2=6.” I will use this time to go over new vocabulary learned as well as to address any confusion associated with this lesson.

    As a whole, the class average was around 60% percent, meaning the class is on the developing or adequate level of understanding the learning objective. A quarter of the class passed the assessment with 85 or better, which is considered a mastery under the math curriculum followed. Half the class scored a 65 or less. This shows that these students have a minimal to no understanding of the concept being taught. 8 out of the sixteen students understood procedurally and conceptually how to compare to objects with a third object.…

    This essay concludes this assignment and this semesters mathematics module, when first starting the module I felt that my subject knowledge was adequate taking into account that I am out of practise by 4 years. When attending the seminars I quickly realised that I had to revise certain areas of subject knowledge in order to be able to have better practice, and I now have a greater understanding of effective pedagogy. In this essay however I will be discussing the research I have made on how attitudes surrounding mathematics has an impact on how well children perform in a mathematics lesson. There is much written documentation of the complexity of effectively teaching and deliver a good standard mathematics lesson to children one crucial point rasied after studying this was the importance of having a positive attitude around the subject, and the subject matter. Haylock (2007) suggested that the effectiveness of teaching mathematics with an…

    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.…

    The espousal of multicultural learning and the seating arrangement of the classroom truly helps to facilitate the diversity in the friendship and interpersonal relationships in Ms. Bunker’s class. The students engage in play and discussion amongst each other in an easy-going, non-hierarchal manner. Moreover, the students worked/played together without nullifying their cultural/ethnic and gender differences – but while embracing them and working well together in spite of them. I did not see any dissension based on student demographical diversification – and students mingled with each other equally. Furthermore, shockingly (considering other fourth grade classes I have been in) and fortunately, I did not witness any apparent relational or…

    The instructional strategies selected for this unit were appropriate to meet the needs of the diverse learners. Providing the students with different cues and questions played an essential role during this unit as they were able to help activate the students prior knowledge. The cues and questions provided when working one-on-one with students was also important as the number of prompting, cues, or questioning varied based on the student. Another equally important strategy was the use of Hands-on activities and a variety of manipulatives, possibly one of the most important components when working with this group of students. Fourteen out of the fifteen students are still struggling with some of their fine motor skills and our hands-on activities…
