Reflection Questions
How did your introduction
presentation go overall?
What do you think went well?
What was not effective?
What would you change if you
taught this activity again?
What did you learn from the
experience of planning and teaching
an introduction task?
Response:
- I believe my presentation went well. The
students loved the slides and were so
energetic to share their answers and how
they got to the answer.
-I believe the timing I was given wasn't
effective because the students haven't
learned how to divide yet so that needed to
be explained before they could start
answering the question.
-If I taught again I would change the allotted
time for the activity and provide
manipulatives that the students could have in
front of them to be able to teach division.
Response:
-I learned that every time you introduce
something there should be a pretest, so you
can understand students' preconceptions and
know how to work around them. When i
introduced division some students thought of it as
repeated subtraction, while others tried to
multiply and subtract. If i knew that sooner then i
could have cleared it up and explained what
division was before giving the question to the
students.
