Reflection:

​

I taught a scripted math lesson from the math textbook this classroom uses on a daily basis. This lesson was about using skip counting to multiply by 5. However, I connected the concepts taught as well as used differing perspectives to engage students in critical thinking, creativity, and collaborative problem solving by guiding students through the problems (as pictured above) using a differentiated variety of strategies. For example, the first two pictures depict the first strategy of me simply reading the problems aloud for the students. The third picture depicts the next strategy of me being more hands on by writing out the answers as they give them to me. The last picture depicts the last and most effective strategy used, which included drawing a visual of how to solve each problem with the class as a whole. It helped the students to draw and write out what was going on inside their heads in order to solve while being creative and working together.
