Experience
The next activity will delve into the experiences of math teachers and will give
Interview three experienced intermediate grades ( Grade 4, 5 or 6) mathematics teachers. Ask
them the following question: If you were to give a piece of advice about lesson planning to
your rookie teacher self, what would it be? What are common about their responses?
Write them down below.
