Advantages And Disadvantages Of A Math Classroom

In schools that switch, teachers play a big part in making sure kids learn each subject. Teachers have the opportunity to focus on just on one subject, rather than all of the subjects. In Source 2, “When a teacher teaches the same lesson throughout the day, he or she can ensure that students fully understand the material. The lesson may be of higher quality since the teacher only has to prepare one outstanding lesson to teach several times each day”(Source 2). This is because teachers have more time to really explain this one subject to all of the students. Teachers, who have to teach all of the subjects, may not be explaining each subject thoroughly because they don’t have enough time to prepare for many different subjects.

Rather it be a movie on the pilgrims journey across the ocean or how water is evaporated, I feel that students learn a lot through video clips. An example of a video resource that I plan on using with my third graders is via the site www.neok12.com. This site is amazing and has videos broken down into age groups. My third graders are going to learn about the planets on this site with an amazing 13 minute video clip giving insite information about each planet and the order of them in our solar system. Before watching the clip, I will pass out a worksheet for the children to fill out answers to the questions they will only be able to answer if they pay attention to the video. After the video clip is over, I will get everyone’s papers turned in and then we will have a discussion. The students will then be assigned a project that will have them pick a planet in our solar system and create a visual project to present to the class the following week. Science is super fun and I feel that this video will assist my third graders in seeing how amazing our galaxy is. However, there are some downfalls when it comes to videos for children who have behavioral issues such as not being able to sit still, students with vision impairments, and also students with hearing impairments. For students with vision impairments I will move them to the front row seats so they have a better

I noticed that many students pretended to not understand and they just wanted to prolong until the class was over. I didn’t think it was necessary to repeat the video maybe more than three times. The teacher gave out the worksheet to the students prior to the video and the worksheet was going to be scored, so the teacher wanted to make sure that the students did ok. Most of the activities the teacher did for the class were limited to one activity and that was to practice with the groups, reviewing and practicing what the teacher just

I found lessons very beneficial for students if they may not only participate during video lesson but use the other sites which will help them in their understanding of new tasks. There is a good example from the article: “Flip your students learning”. According to this article, we can catch very interesting information for us. For example, such as during the math lesson students may use video explanation and later give some answers for the teacher regarding the topic of the lesson. In the regular class, students will learn to do their homework. In my opinion, it is more beneficial for students receiving instructions, video tutorial, or lecture using the computer and come back to the class be prepared. Using flip classes, students can achieve their academic skills. Spurlock states, “… I would recommend doing it in smaller chunks.” Using screen recordings in smaller chunks instead of one big is useful. One reason may be that long videos get boring and once it gets to that point, it will be harder to memorize main points. In my opinion, recording your own videos for your own students is a powerful help for them. There are many videos recorded on topics that may be similar for students but not as similar as to how one’s teacher does it. So, recording for your students and showing them plus explaining the way you taught in class helps a lot. “Bergmann advises that teachers spend

They encourage the students in the learning process and to take more responsibilities, such as watching the math videos in the flipped classroom. They treat students respectfully and differentiate instruction to meet all students’ needs. Teachers use whole class, small groups and cooperative learning strategies. They use a variety of activities to engage all kinds of learners, such as hands-on (labs), posters, projects, etc. Teachers develop critical thinking skills through the activities and strategies they use in the classroom. The Reading Lab Teacher had on the board the word antidisestablishmentarianism. The students had to guess what the word means. After that, they had to break down the words in multiple parts, which help figure out the meaning of this word. As a fun activity, the students had to create as many small words as possible from this word. The students shared their results with the class.

In this article it explains that flipping the classroom is where the students prepare for the lesson before class then receive feedback on the lesson. That would give the students time to ask questions. Besides a flipped classroom this article talks a bout the inverted classroom and peer instruction. The students complete worksheets and get to ask questions during class the worksheets are then chosen, at random, to be taken for a grade. Peer instruction is a new technological way for students to interact with each other. The students receive clickers that will anonymously show the answer to the questions, and then in small groups they will discuss the questions. All of these methods tend to work, but according to the article the peer instruction has the best effect on students because they are discussing with their peers.

The inverted classroom – The flipped classroom model began over 15 years ago in higher education and spread to k -12, it allows for more interactive learning in the classroom.

In this technology savvy era, inventions such as the internet gives educators the ability to post online lectures that are easily accessible on sites like YouTube and are commonly used to teach students lessons in the classroom. Taking it one step further, a man named Salman Khan created a website called Khan Academy. Now students can learn the material at home by watching the video lectures online and attend school to receive help from his or her teachers and peers on the homework. Flipping the classroom will change the educational system in the future by making learning more enjoyable, helpful, and allowing students to improve upon their academic skills and communicate effectively with their fellow classmates and teachers.

These students go into a traditional classroom setting to learn and complete assignments. Learning in the classroom setting allows the student to have a teacher that can provide help that is beneficial to a student. These students have an available instructor they can ask for help if needed. Teachers and administrators provide encouragement and motivation to these students in the traditional classroom and are available for assistance outside the classroom.

The article I used was "Should You Flipp Your Classroom?" written Ramsey Musallan on the website Edutopia. My reaction to the concept of flip classrooms left me beleiving that it is an effective learning technique, for not only the students, but the teachers as well. A flip classroom is a technique that is used in the classroom, by utilizing the homework in class, as well as watching online lectures at home. In the classroom the assignments are hands on, and allows the students to go through a trial and error procedure, where they really get to experiance and learn whatever it may be that they are doing. When I am a teacher, i will seriously consider utilizing the flipped classroom method, because I believe that a more hands on method is more

An important aspect of change, will be in how students are presented with the learning process and in how educators gauge the level of progress. Considering that accountability is a key aspect, the teaching methods implemented will play a huge part in the success of change. The flipped classroom is a unique teaching method that can bring monumental change in the learning environment. It will provide educators with the ability to consider and understand all factors that influence how each and every one of the students learn and subsequently, perform in and out of the classroom.

I observed two different math classrooms for my clinical observation. The first classroom was in an urban school setting, grade two. The second classroom was in a more suburban school setting, fifth grade math. The second grade class period was ninety minutes long, the students rotated in groups to the teacher table and did a mini lesson there for about 15 minutes, while the rest of the 90 minutes was spent on a math website. The fifth grade class period was only 45 minutes long and the majority of what I saw was the teacher working with the students on correcting homework.

Aaron Sanns and Jonathan Bergman are the first two teachers who use flipped classroom, they provide supplying absent students with an online lecture they could watch from home or from anywhere they had access to a computer and internet including school or local library. They find

Classroom observation is a main approach of teaching research. Scholars or researchers use video to record the real whole class and observe the teachers and students’ actions, words and the efficiency in the class. Though the observation, they analyze what approach is more suitable. This paper will select video 5 and video 3 as the material to do the classroom observation. Different aspects such as teachers’ responds, questions, instructions notes and students’ behavior will be addressed to analyze the efficacy of this class.

Sixty-two percent of teachers say they use digital media twice a week or more and 24 percent say they use it every day to help them teach. The numbers of teachers using TV and video content in the classroom are even higher. Over 80 percent of teachers say they use TV or video to teach a lesson at least once a month and 76 percent are streaming it from the web” (par. 2).
