 Reflection (to be completed after discussion of Peer Review with colleague
The lesson was for hessa, she toughs the food chain. The classroom was prepared for the
lesson even the teacher was fully prepared. The teacher used the timer to divide the time
wisely. The only comment that I have for hessa is to differentiate more between the
activities. So, after the lesson I set with hessa and discuss about the lesson and she was
very open to my comments and I told her that she needs to think more about the
activities when she plans for any lesson in the feature.

Reflection (to be completed after discussion of Peer Review with colleague

The lesson was for Mariam, she toughs how to add using 2 mixed numbers. The
classroom was prepared for the lesson. The teacher needs to use the timer to divide the
time wisely and the second comment that I have for Mariam is to improve her
preparation for the lesson. So, after the lesson I set with Mariam and discuss about the
lesson and she was very open to my comments and I told her that she need to prepare for
the lesson and also to use the timer.
