Part Three: Reflection
D. Explain how the tool from part C will enhance student learning during the lesson.
The math tool playing cards will enhance student learning by providing a physical tool to manipulate with easy to read numbers. Cards have numbers and sets of objects to represent the number, to help students count. Using the playing cards students will easily create addition and subtraction problems then solve.
E. Explain how your lesson plan incorporates each of the following components:
1. conceptual understanding - The lesson incorporates manipulatives, students will gain a conceptual understanding of addition and subtraction because they can use Play-Doh to physically add or take away muffins to solve the problem and understand

procedural fluency - Students will gain procedural fluency in the lesson through the teacher modeling and guided practice with math concepts. Students will use a variety of manipulatives to achieve a better understanding of how to represent and solve problems involving addition and subtraction within 20.
F. Explain how one instructional strategy in your lesson plan (e.g., collaborative learning, modeling, discovery learning) supports learning outcomes.
One instructional strategy found throughout my lesson plan is modeling. As the teacher the thinking out loud while moving through the process of solving the problem students are not only hearing my thoughts, they also can mimic the process. Continual modeling and thinking aloud provides students with support while they follow along. Students will gain procedural knowledge as well as conceptual understanding. However, I find it important to have several instructional strategies in my lesson plan. Especially, students at this young age have different ways of learning. I like to iIncluding collaborative learning. This helps my kiddos build relationships within our classroom community. Students work together to support one another and solve the task given while taking the pressure off of only one student trying to figure out how to explain or solve a
This will enrich the quality of education by improving the amount of class discussions and perhaps expanding the curriculum/ concepts that students are
Giving children a project or getting them to decide in a group how they are going to solve a problem can be very beneficial. For example, you could ask them to come up with a design for a house for a fictional character that they all know They would then need to justify what features it might need any why , and present this to a
How will you hook the students? “So over the past couple of days we have learned different strategies to help us add to numbers greater than 10. Who can share with me a strategy we have practiced?” “Today though, Mr King is going to need your help.
It is a viable tool for addressing the maximum participation of the child and can be a catalyst to ensure effective learning. Effective teachers use an array of teaching strategies because there is no single, universal approach that suits all situations. Different strategies used in different combinations with different groupings of students will improve learning outcomes. Some strategies are better suited to teaching skills and fields of knowledge than others. Some strategies are better suited to certain student backgrounds, learning styles and
It also teaches me how to prepare for a planned discussion to make sure my students’ learning is being
Two resources that I could use in my classroom support student learning are the instructional technology and the instructional materials. First is the instructional technology, my district provides each student with a personal Chromebook. This is a program called IGNiTE that aims to provide students with modern learning tools. Using this resource in my classroom to communicate lessons across to students using technology. Using this for students to complete homework and turn it in via Canvas.
In addition, I will use modeling techniques and signals to improve students' comprehension and
Instructional strategies are strategies used in the classroom, or any educational location, to improve learning. The first section of this paper identifies strategies that the author of this paper effectively incorporated into the classroom over the past 30 years. Many of the strategies in this section may appear similar to popular strategies; however, they were original, natural thoughts and strategies of the author throughout that time period, not strategies obtained from any published source. The second and third section of this paper contains strategies obtained from published sources. The specific sources are identified at the beginning of each section.
2. It can motivate students and teachers to work harder and improve their performance. 3. It can identify areas where students may need additional support or resources.
Playing mathematical games teach the students how to count and it teach them different strategies about problem solving. While playing mathematical game they will become familiar with the numbers and other problems. 2. What materials are present to aid their development of math concepts? When children learn about
The final way that manipulatives are beneficial to student learning is that they help students to communicate their understanding of concepts in an easy to understand and universal way. Manipulatives help students to “communicate their mathematical thinking”, even when words evade them (p. 78 NCTM). Sometimes students struggle to put their mathematical thinking into words, but with the use of manipulatives they can show their thinking and working through the manipulatives can help them to verbalize their thinking. Manipulatives help to break down concepts into their most simplistic forms, which allows the students to gain the fundamentals they need in that area of learning in order to succeed and be able to explain more complex concepts later
Sometime teachers may have to lead the children through the problem solving steps. Adult approach the situation calmly, ask the children open ended question to help children solve the problem. Both children will help solve the problem. One child may say you can see the truck when I am finish in ten minutes. Children are solving problems, thinking at a higher level and using numbers and
Instead of memorizing facts and equations, they are forced to learn the material, and apply it to their work. Mrs. Isbell does a fantastic job of making students apply their knowledge and understanding of the subject. She makes the students use previous
This interaction encourages students to think. It is very beneficial if the students interact between them in a large number since everyone has their own experienced, opinion, ways of thinking and so forth. In computing,
The further you progress down the cone, the greater the learning and the more information is likely to be retained. It also suggests that when choosing an instructional method it is important to remember that involving students in the process strengthen knowledge retention. Dale suggests that instructors should design instructional activities that build upon more real-life
