Relation to Learning Standards |
- Standards are relevant, concise and clear.
- Standards relate directly to the lesson.
- Important terms were bolded in the congruency table.
- Objectives are measureable.
|
- Supporting standard possibly may be too much; keep it simple.
|
Intellectual Challenge |
- Graphs are important for 2nd graders to understand.
- The use of candy is a good eye catcher.
- Bar graphs are important as they allow different ways to present information.
- Graphs were organized and easy for students to see.
- Students were challenged by a variety of materials.
- I like that the students had to fill in the graph.
Children given opportunities in many ways to graph data.
|
- How could instruction be differentiated?
|
Assessment Plan |
- The teacher rubric is very easy to follow.
- Rubric is very specific of what is expected of the students.
- Focus on writing numbers.
- Pre-assessment is short and sweet.
- The teacher is able to know whether or not the student was aware of the information.
- Made good use of the Scholastic Magazine that the children purchase.
|
- What does “some, most, and few” mean?
- Do they need to know how to spell the number words?
- Consider a checklist for students as a student friendly “rubric”.
- Reconsider using spelling in your rubric. Second graders are still becoming phonetically aware and this may hinder their focus on the math.
- Please consider including a copy of the formative assessment check list.
- Did the children have a problem readily seeing which was more on the cube graph since they drew inconsistently in size? How could you change this?
- Was including spelling and number formation on rubric necessary to the skill? (Developmentally appropriate?)
|
Engagement/ Inquiry |
- Children love to use the smart board.
- Slideshow also is a good way to keep attention.
- Use of M&M’s was a good motivator. Hands-on activity was engaging.
- Pocket activity idea was great!
Scholastic worksheet was a nice contribution to the lesson.
- Good interaction with students.
- Good variety of activities.
- I like that the fruit was scrambled on the graph.
- I like that you gave the children cubes to use.
|
|
Adaptability |
- The power point is a great way to open the lesson to get the student’s attention.
- I like that they were able to go to a different room to allow them to use the smart board.
- The worksheets were very engaging.
|
- How would you have modified your lesson for students with a disability?
- Please consider modifications in case you have students who are unfocused during the lesson.
- Consider using manipulatives on the worksheets. Consider using pieces of cut paper to represent the cubes and have children glue to give more accurate drawing on cube graph.
|
Technology Integration |
- I like that you used the smart board. Great tool to use for math. Kids probably loved this hands-on approach.
|
- Did the students come up to the smart board or just watch? Consider having them come up to the smart board to fill in the graphs.
- Give credit to Investigations and Scholastic News.
|
Presentation/Implications |
- Organized.
- Worksheets were vibrant, eye catching and organized.
- Easy to follow.
- Nice to read on projector.
- Good voice level.
|
- Work in progress.
- Please consider explaining “pockets” more in depth as a reader/reviewer so I understood what it was.
