Students worked in a variety of configurations during this lessonwhole group, pairs/3s
and individually. Tiffany included review of calculating elapsed time, a small group game to
practice and apply skills, and a next step of converting number problems to word problems that

What I Liked:
You were well prepared.
You connected the lesson focus for the day to experiences and skills previously
experienced.
You utilized a variety of grouping configurations successfully, students moved frequently
and both of these helped keep students focused and engaged during your lesson.
You provided scaffolding for your students.
You had students explain their work and not just give you an answer.
You gave students the opportunity to add input to portions of the lesson which added
interest and made focus easier. (They selected the times they would use to practice finding
elapsed time)
Students liked the various activities that you planned as was evident in their focus and
engagement throughout the lesson.
You circulated and touched base with all students while they worked.
You converted to word problems which are often difficult for students. You explained them
well and walked students through them to find the answers.
You related math in the classroom to real world math. Students need to know and see
examples of how they will use math every day.
You had students record work, problems and answers in a variety of ways.wipe off boards,
journals, paper, SmartBoard.
Some Suggestions Pertaining to This Lesson:

Investigate, develop and use a variety of attention getting techniquesthis was better
Try not to use sentences like thisWould someone like to come up. Instead say, I need
someone to show us how you arrived at your answer.
As one person is working at the SmartBoard, remind the rest of your students to check the
work they have completed on their wipe-off board. You will be checking with them to see if
they believe the individual recorder is correct or if someone arrived at the answer a
different way.
The noise level during your pairs/3s activity was too high. Stop them. Talk about an
appropriate working noise level and then continue.
Make sure all students are able to see what you are doing on the SmartBoard. You were
blocking the view of a few. When you have your own classroom, make sure to set up the
area for the computer link in a different way so that everyone in your group area will be
able to see.
Think through your directions as you are planning your lessons. Give directions first and
then move to group work.
Work on your teacher voice.
