Sixth-Grade Math Teacher

Mrs. Lawrence: When planning a lesson, I start with the objective. What is it I am supposed to be cover. Once I know, I start with a hook. I access their prior knowledge then I move on with either an example or model. All along I ask questions to make sure the students

Outline of Lesson Plan: This lesson can be divided by the teacher into two days of instruction and reflection on the part of students and their teachers, with the option of a written homework assignment after Day 1 and the possibility of adding an additional day devoted to peer review and revision of the culminating writing assignment.

On TC1MAT412 (teaching and learning mathematic 2 ) , for the second and final project we were require to design four lesson plan from one unit of a chosen cycle one math book , each member should work on one lesson , and design a lesson plan for it that contain instructional objectives ,strategies , activities ,assessment , and homework . And as a group we need to write introduction, conclusion, and reflection and design PowerPoint presentation for this project.

During this semester I was lucky to be placed at Mink Shoals in a fifth grade class. I taught a total of five lessons. For my assessment chart I choose to show the progress that my students made on the math lesson. They took a pre-test and a post test. I knew that math was a good subject for about half of the class, and half of the class struggled. I knew this was going to be difficult to teach. Before I taught my lesson I did a lot of planning, but before I planned I worked with students every day in a math group. These math groups showed me what the students understood and did not understand. When I planned my lesson I talked to my cooperating teacher to see what I should go over if I wanted to help prepare them for the smaterbalance. After we talked, I decided to look up standards, and practice math tests to see what I should review for the test. After looking everything over

How the teacher plans out the lesson and what materials are needed for that lesson must be done in advance and already set out before the lesson begins. The teacher needs to arrive on time to that lesson and be well presented and speak to the children in an appropriate manner. The teacher needs to address the

During my observations, it is clear that Ms. Minor prepares well thought out lesson plans for her third grade students. Lesson reflect both the state adopted curriculum and the instructional needs of the students she serves. She prepares lessons that increase student engagement. Ms. Minor’s lesson also incorporates culturally responsive strategies. Her selection of instructional resources demonstrates an understanding of the diverse

The teacher plans instruction based upon knowledge of subject matter, students, the community, and curriculum goals.

I have had the pleasure of teaching Ally in class for three years; in Advanced Geometry as an 8th grader, Pre-Calculus as a sophomore, and currently as a junior in AP Calculus. In 8th grade, Ally chose to arrive at school an hour earlier in order to take Advanced Geometry at the high school. Even at that young age she knew she wanted to take advanced math classes and push herself academically. Ally's greatest strength in class is her inquiring attitude. She has an unique ability to analyze and reflect on the problem-solving process. While solving complex mathematics problems, she will refine and improve her problem-solving strategy to obtain the correct solution. When I give her exams back, Ally critically examines her mistakes to learn from them often sharing her findings with her peers.

The lesson plan 3 was about “Time by the hour” for math. Throughout the time in my placement field, I get to observe and teach in my cooperating teacher’s 1st grade class. I had learned so much about the students and enjoyed working along with everyone. At the end of every planned lesson plans, I have learned so much and gained some useful information on how to become a better teacher in the future. In this lesson plan 3, I had reflected on my past mistake and learn to grow from it.

For this instructional supervision experience, I chose to evaluate Mrs. Melissa Dalton. Mrs. Dalton is 25-year veteran mathematics teacher at Rural Retreat High School. She has taught mathematics at Rural Retreat High School for 24 years. She also taught mathematics at Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Virginia her first year out of college. Mrs. Dalton graduated from Emory and Henry College in 1985 with a degree in Mathematics. In 1990, she earned a Master’s Degree in Mathematics and Curriculum and Instruction from Virginia Tech. She is currently working on a second Master’s Degree in Counseling and Human Development from Liberty University. Mrs. Dalton certainly fits

Subtraction, multiplication, addition, division, variable, exponents, and graphs, so many lessons, numbers, terms, and ideas swirling in my head. Mrs. Turner is currently my 8th grade math teacher. She gives homework, grades papers and gives test; like any other teacher, but somehow it is different. A lot people say math is boring and hard, but Mrs. Turner always adds something special to the class that just makes it a little brighter. This class is one of my favorites because it’s not always just a bunch of work in her class. For tests, we do review games, extra credit, and she even allows us to come during lunch and many other things. Slam! Swoosh! Clank! Most people would let a basketball game come to mind when they hear those sounds, but

I have a confession: I only learned one thing from you. It’s not what you think of course, it’s far worse. You taught me of course, but not the lessons you were supposed to. You taught me to doubt myself, to be ashamed of my knowledge, to hide my gifts and talents, and to sit silent even though I had plenty to say.

Teachers are one of the most influential people a student can have in their lives. My seventh/eighth grade teacher changed my life for the better. As I mentioned on the previous page, her name is Mrs. Mastrandrea. She is the most loving as well as understanding teacher I’ve had so far. My middle school marks wouldn’t of been as high if it wasn’t for her. Besides marks, she assisted me with my personal issues. Every time I would walk into class with a frown, she would cheer me up. Mrs. M would come check up on me, especially when I had all those conflicts in my life. I had no idea how I would even repay her back for all of this! I did whatever I could to help her out, for example I stayed back sometimes to help her clean the class. Also, I accompanied

     Madeline Hunter, who was also an educator, philosopher and psychologist had a different perspective on the process of educating children. She believed that there are several elements that must be considered in planning for effective instruction. These steps became known as the Madeline Hunter Seven Step Lesson Plan. This lesson plan should begin with feel tone which is the process in which a teacher interacts with the students in an effort to put them at ease within the classroom. This creates a relaxed environment, that Hunter felt, is more suitable for learning. Next,

An elementary teacher lays out the foundation of a child’s future. Elementary teachers’ job is to teach kids the basics of math, science, social studies, and language arts. As an elementary teacher, I must be patient and flexible. Everybody has different ways of learning and comprehending. It will be my duty to be able to build a plan that will allow all students with different learning ability to understand. The specific job tasks include creating lesson plans that
