The lesson analysis and reflection will be over a mathematics lesson taught to a small group of second graders in a resource room. The timing of this lesson was appropriate. I had enough time to go over the lesson thoroughly. I finished a few minutes early and was able to re-iterate the strategies taught during the lesson. I was also able to implement more problems to make the lesson more concrete for a better understanding of the strategy.
The benefits of this strategy is the students can use the method grouping by five in order to subtract nine in other areas of mathematics including multiplication and addition. The drawbacks of the strategy is it can be challenging for younger students to understand why they …show more content…
Maybe more technology included could have made the lesson better. I probably didn 't ask enough questions due to the fact that my students did not fully grasp the strategy. They seem to comprehend the strategy partially. I could have asked questions like; "Do you know why we are doing this?” I could 've also if there was anything that they would like to ask me about the overall lesson or method in completing the problems.
How I plan for the differentiation lesson was observing and analyzing heir assessment to find their problem areas and pinpoint where I needed to go back and start for them to have a clear understanding of the strategy. Where the students had trouble counting numbers I made a note of that so that way in the reengagement lesson we would go over numbers up to 19. They need to know the numbers they would be working with. They needed to recognize and know those numbers in order to be successful with subtracting nine from teen numbers. So, I went over teen …show more content…
I want them to learn the strategies or methods and not regress soon after. This will show no improvement or progress being made. I am concerned that some of my students learn very differently from others so their way of learning will not always be accommodate their styles of learning and they will have to find other ways to learn the strategies and make it stick.
The students were engaged and motivated because I called upon them to answer questions and throughout the lesson they would raise their hands eager to tell me the answer or explain the process without me coaxing them.
The lesson motivated the students to be engaged because it used Smart Board technology and the students loved to be interactive while learning. It was also engaging because the students feel comfortable with subtractions and wanted to learn more about the strategy of subtracting nine from teen numbers. I saw moments when the students were working they would say, “Oh, I got it now.” Or “Now I understand.” to themselves out loud. There was one student that was disengage but this student happens to be very nonchalant an introverted and nothing seems to excite
