Christie Kawalsky: Effective Communication In The Classroom

553 Words3 Pages

The first lesson ('Christie') views Christie Kawalsky, a graduate teacher at St. Albans East Primary School, who is teaching fractions to her year 3/4 class (Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership [AITSL] (Producer), n.d.-a). Christie's lesson relates well to proficiency strand of understanding; this is because as a teacher, Christie is getting her students to develop their understanding of fractions, decimals, percentages and whole numbers. Christie often uses the appropriate language to communicate explicit learning experiences, and Christie integrates a general literacy capabilities approach to support the numeracy activity (ACARA, n.d.-a). Christie teaches the students how to connect fractions, decimals, percentages and …show more content…

-b). Kelly differentiates class activities to suit each’s learner's level and use scaffold to prompt and assist those students who are struggling. Kelly uses routine teaching within her classroom which involves tuning in, explicit teaching, development activities and reflection after each lesson. The lesson conducted by Kelly suits the proficiency strand of reasoning as Kelly asks students to explore the different strategies and process they used to break down their mathematical equations. At the beginning of the lesson, Kelly uses dice, and the students must do their nine times tables with each roll, the students had a limit of 20 seconds to answer. Therefore, relating to the identification and describing multiples and factors of whole numbers to solve equations which is content descriptor ACMNA098. Furthermore, the teacher uses posed questions to help the student explore number sequences to solve problems, which reflects elaboration of the content descriptor ACMNA098. Additionally, the students develop critical thinking skills when solving the maths problems (ACARA, n.d.-c, ACMNA098). In the lesson, Kelly places students in pairs to solve questions where they break down the mathematical problems and discuss the written strategies they used to solve the problem; this reflects content descriptor ACMNA291 (ACARA, n.d.-c, ACMNA291). Later on, towards the end of the lesson, Kelly asked the pairs to review how they found their answers and displayed them on the whiteboard. Kelly used scaffolding with the pairs to select and apply the correct written strategy to solve the problem, which reflects content descriptor ACMNA123. The elaboration of the content descriptor ACMNA123 involves the strategies used to solve the small numbers and then the larger numbers, which was clearly shown

Reinhart shares how there are so many different and creative ways that teachers can teach Math in their classrooms. Reinhart also discussed in his article how he decided not to just teach Math the traditional way but tried using different teaching methods. For example, he tried using the Student-Centered, Problem Based Approach to see how it could be implemented in the classroom while teaching Math to his students. Reinhart found that the approach worked very well for his students and learned that the students enjoyed

This unit would be the beginning of the students being able to use both properties up to the number fact of 20. The teacher would model the expectations and the way the work is to be completed through various examples on the interactive whiteboard. Students would be introduced to the properties, be provided of their definitions, and then be walked through a step by step process of how equations are done using the properties.

    “One thing is certain: The human brain has serious problems with calculations. Nothing in its evolution prepared it for the task of memorizing dozens of multiplication facts or for carrying out the multistep operations required for two-digit subtraction.” (Sousa, 2015, p. 35). It is amazing the things that our brain can do and how our brain adapt to perform these kind of calculations. As teachers, we need to take into account that our brain is not ready for calculations, but it can recognize patterns.

    It also addresses procedural fluency in that students, with conceptual understanding, will “perform operations,” building on the arithmetic skills they already have with their procedural fluency of exponent laws. Students will use problem-solving skills when they must decipher context to find relevant information in order to perform operations in scientific notation. The lesson 1 learning objective, “given a very large or small number, scholars will be able to write an expression equal to it using a power of 10 and identify whether or not a number is written in scientific notation,” will address conceptual understanding and mathematical reasoning as students make a connection between powers of 10 and their prior knowledge of place value, understanding that the power of 10 has meaning. Students must then use mathematical reasoning to judge how large or small a power of 10 is.

Some of the other students like to read so some more examples will be about books that they like. The examples throughout the learning segment will require the students to represent number lines and inequalities through a variety of models and situations including an exploration activity, a human number line taped on the floor, written work throughout stations, a game on the computer, and a scavenger hunt.

    Explain how lessons build and link to other skills Linear equations with one or two variables require students to link knowledge solving regular equations. The knowledge includes simplify forms, collecting like terms, find rational number for coefficients etc. Students also need to connect the knowledge of geometry, students need to draw the straight lines and write down equations. To solve systems of linear equations with two variables, students need to link the knowledge to reading since they need to understand the narrative of the questions. The importance reading capacity is critical for solve word problems, which often links to problems from the real world, such as when people are paid by hourly wage, calculate the total amount of salary over a certain period of time.
