performing in. Throughout the interview, I saw that the students used his strategies to solve the math problem. He did not use standard algorithm computation to solve mathematical problems. Furthermore, when I was conducting the interview the students in the class were learning how to round and estimate numbers. The student probably used…

broach the subject is to highlight on administrative problems that occurred frequently at workplace and showing a systematic ways to deal with those kind of problems and point out how to solve them by setting goals, standards, and policies.

week I watched children in the class solve a word problem on the board. I decide that I wanted to observe the students in Math and make a checklist to assess their understanding of the concept skill presented. The students were suppose to master the skill of solving a word problem with pictures and then when they were done, they were to participant in a class discussion on how to solve the problem. With that being said, I decided to compose a checklist to see if students understood how to solve…

class, because people can find a large of help on campus, get more idea which will help them to solve the math questions more quickly and flexibly and know how to improve the capacity to communicate orally. First of all, students are able to get more help to…

Why? • Possible answer response: Yes, solving for the area can be difficult but did you find it easier by using the cheese crackers as square units to help you find the area if you were confused on multiplying the length and the width. • Possible answer response: Yes, solving for an area can be quite easy when know how to use the measurements of the shape to multiply the length and the width of the shape to find the area. Did you see that by multiplying the length and the width of the shape,…

Being a student at Southwest High School, I always struggled with math. I never understood it, and I wondered to myself “am I not smart enough?”. Here came my sophomore year and I had a class with a teacher named Ms Velasquez. my first day of school had finally came and I thought to myself “well here i go to barely passing another class”. I came in and automatically she gave us a math test, I was so disappointed. She wanted to see what we knew and how we can improve our math, it is not like…

help my perspective as an educator because I can understand how some students might struggle. Nonetheless, reflecting on my map, I realize how much it is lacking in terms of differentiation, teaching for deeper understanding, using multiple means of mastery, and much more. In my first unit, I used several worksheets to assess my students’ understanding. In an article I read by Alfie Kohn, he describes the issue of worksheets with this quote: “Drill…

(Smith & Stein, 2011). This is also a great time to involve colleagues and other educators. They will be able to give you examples that you would not have thought about. During last semester, I had my peers make a histogram. I gave them M&M’s and told them to use a histogram to describe how many different colors are in the bag. Then, I told them to differentiate between the peanut and plain M&M’s. At home, I had to find map out ways to solve the problem. I was actually…

changed majors multiple times to find out the real subject that he was interested in.
