The lesson plan was fairly accurate as it went through definitions, reflections on learning, and the pros and cons of the topic for students. Each example used the think-pair-share method so students could understand different approaches. Students then shared their work by writing equations on the whiteboard.
The lesson was appropriate for enhancing knowledge of the algorithm topic. It gave insight into how different learners approach equations. The various methods adopted were helpful for increasing understanding.
The lesson could have been improved by including more hands-on activities like using math blocks, number lines, and charts. Having each group work with different resources to solve an equation and then explain their approach to the class could also have made the lesson more effective.

week 6 of 1st semester was fairly accurate as the lesson went through definitions, reflections on own learning and why the topic is good and bad for students. Each example given that was used incorporated the think/pair/share method so that the students could understand different ways that other people worked out the equations. Once shared, one person from each table drew up their equation on the whiteboard so that the whole class could gain an even wider range of ideas to work with. Was the lesson plan appropriate? I think that this lesson was appropriate in terms of the audience receiving the information to enhance the knowledge on the algorithm topic. Personally, this gave an extended insight in to how different types of learners can figure out equations differently to others. A lot of the different methods adopted were ways that I would not have thought but overall it was a very helpful lesson to help increase my knowledge and skills on this topic. What could be done better? I think some things that could have been done better were implementing more hands on learning activities such as MAB blocks, number lines, charts so that not only a student could figure out the equation in their head, but also show their findings physically using the different resources that could have been provided. I think also working in table groups in which each table has a different resource to figure out an equation would have been effective. This could have been implemented by each table figuring out the equation, and then all students go to each table group by group and get explained to them the findings and how they got their answer. Although not having access to enough resources to cater for the whole university class makes it difficult, but with limited access it was a well-developed lesson.
