Weekly Log / Reflection

Weeks of: 1/25/21 # of hours logged: 12 hours

Activities: write in a narrative form exactly what your students learn about math. Be as specific as possible so I will get a good idea of how you
spent your time in the classroom.
I saw the students adding and subtracting 2- and 3-digit numbers. The teacher pulled students to the back table and worked
with them in groups at a time to work with them on being more efficient with the way they solve problems. She worked with
the students to use the arrow way instead of the ones, tens, and hundreds chart. While she pulled groups to the back, the
other students worked on math problems on Zearn. I walked around and helped the children doing this.

Students’ Work: Take pictures of students’ work (at least 3 that illustrate different ways of solving a problem), insert the pictures, and
interpret how students think about the problem.)

Reflection: (Your reflection should include comments on the things in the classroom that impress you, surprise you, concern you or puzzle you.
You should also comment on any links you make from the topics you discuss with Dr. Kim during lectures to what you are observing in class.
Pay particular attention to children’s conversations and discussions about math and how children approach math tasks.)
Something that impressed me was the number of students that could do adding and subtracting 2- and 3- digit numbers
efficiently and partly mentally. Some of the children did not need to use the chart and were able to find the answer very fast.
A topic that I observed that Dr. Kim discussed in class were the different levels of cognitive demand. Each child was on a
different level and were working different problems, so I observed each level being displayed.

Activities: write in a narrative form exactly what your students learn about math. Be as specific as possible so I will get a good idea of how you
spent your time in the classroom.
I saw the students adding and subtracting numbers up to 1000. In class, I watched the student take a quiz on adding and
subtracting these numbers. They practiced using different methods to solve a problem.

Students’ Work: Take pictures of students’ work (at least 3 that illustrate different ways of solving a problem), insert the pictures, and
interpret how students think about the problem.)

I was concerned about the number of students that did poorly on the quiz. When they were practicing before the quiz, they
seemed to do fine. However, the results of the quiz did not reflect this. Topics that I observed were procedural knowledge
and procedural fluency. Most of the student exhibited procedural knowledge as they completed their quiz. Some of the
students displayed both procedural knowledge and procedural fluency.
