Reflection:
I implemented a math lesson plan consisting of using manipulatives and dry erase markers to practice multiplication problems of differentiated levels of difficulty and skill. This supported individual as well as collaborative learning by allowing the students to work alone or together to solve problems. It supported positive social interaction by helping one another solve as well as communicating how they got their answers to others. It supported self-motivation by using qualities like teamwork and shared responsibility. It supported active engagement through the usage of manipulatives and visuals to get them enthusiastic about multiplication and solving problems of such.
