Reflection: 
 
Unlike the first lesson, many students were able to pay attention and catch on to things. 
And those students who worked a little more quickly than the others still have alternative 
activities to complete in order to help prevent them from being bored and becoming 
uninterested. The way this lesson was planned out, many of the students were allowed 
to work at their own pace, but also be guided to the extent that was efficient for the 
individual student. Students still needed a little extra practice with seeing the 
mathematical model in a subtraction equation rather than in an addition format, for 
example, 5 +___ = 10. However, I would say students are making great progress.
