Select
What standards or LOs were being addressed in the lesson?
Students will be able to understand two-digit fact families.

How did you cater for learners with special needs, and for differentiation?

For differentiation I gave each group different activity, for example, mastered I gave the students
papers, color corn flex, ribbon. Students have (tens, ones) and they solved the equation by using
the color corn flex and the ribbon. For development, students have papers with equations and
cubes. The students separate the tens and the ones in the table by using the cubes.
And they wrote the equations under the table with the answer. For emergent, students have
laminated papers with the 2 steps. Each student has marker and laminated paper. They wrote their
answer and the I checked their answer. After they finish from their laminated paper they change
with their group.

How did you use positive reinforcement? Methods? For what?

I use positive reinforcement by said “good job” for the students that participate in the classroom.
To let the others, participate also.

How did you sequence or scaffold activities so that they built gradually towards the learning
objectives?
Each activity was linked to the lesson. I sat with my MST to ask her to help me on the activates.
Overall aim and context of the lesson (that is, describe the lesson’s place in the unit of work.
What did students need to know before today’s LOs were addressed? What topic comes next and
how did today’s lesson prepare students for that?)

The lesson was taken in the classroom, the students were sitting at their tables but in the activities
center I let the master group to sit on the carpet. At first, I reviewed the lesson they took last week
about “counting by 2”. and then I asked I let the students to count by 2 together by seeing the
number chart. After that, I started the lesson by introduce the “ones and tens” and then I solve 2
equations the first one on the smartboard and the second one on the whiteboard by using the
cubes. I prepared the lesson with MST, sat down with her, she gave me some advice and helped
me with activities and how the lesson started.

Describe
Who is the lesson for?
The lesson was for grade 2F

Where did the lesson take place?

The lesson take place in the classroom and on the carpet.

What were you aiming to achieve in your lesson?

My goal was to get the information out correctly for the students.

What experiences did you provide to the students to help them to achieve your aims for them?
I explained to them at first in English and Arabic to understand, and when I gave them the
activities, helped them to get the information to them and I was modeling for them an example to
understand how they do the activity.
Analyze
Were students excited, always occupied, and remained on task during the lesson?
The students were enthusiastic, and in the activities they were busy. Also, in the beginning when
I did with them the counting by doing an exercise.
Why do you think the students responded the way that they did?
Because I gave them hands on activities. And because in the beginning they do an exercise while
they count.
How well did your teaching relate to the students’ prior understanding?
I linked the lesson to the lesson that they take last week about counting by 2, 5, 10.

Appraise

Explain the nature of the experience from the students’ perspective.

They were excited because the activities were hands on.

Did your lesson meet your teaching goals? Use your students’ performance on the end of lesson
assessment as support (Give proof in your portfolio)
My lesson meets my teaching goals that was my time management.

Transform

How might you enhance student learning of this lesson in the future?
In the future I will develop my explanation and I will do the activities in the modeling to let the
students know what they will do in each centers.

What are the implications for your professional practice of helping students to enhance their
learning in this particular way? (i.e. what skill will you have to develop or learn? What
professional development will you have to undertake?)
The skills that I must develop my grammar because my grammar wasn’t good enough.
