Overview of the lesson: Teacher started the lesson by activating prior knowledge through
questioning. Previous lesson was connected to current lesson. Symbols of operation were
reviewed to prepare them for the current objective which was for the students to be able to
identify relationships between addition and multiplication. Gradual release of responsibility was
evident during the lesson The lesson was modeled by the teacher and the students were given
plenty of opportunity to practice. There were plenty of encouragement for classroom
participation.
The students were highly engaged and were well behaved.
The rotation of activities was well executed. The students were allowed to move around the
classroom and The group size was manageable.
Areas for development: Provide activity that promote collaboration. It appeared as if only one
student was completing the activity. There wasn’t much collaboration among the students. The
differentiation strategy wasn’t clear. There wasn’t a major difference between the activities in
terms of levels of difficulty.
