Lesson Reflection
This unit specifically focused on 2.1 d which was rounding two digit numbers to the nearest ten.
The anticipatory set and modeling input for each day focused on rounding through reading, videos,
and anchor charts to engage student learning in many different ways. The anchor chart displayed
in the classroom throughout this unit was a great visual for students to look at throughout the week
and be reminded of this SOL. For visual and audio learners the rounding video helped them catch
on and learn in a fun and catchy way. Reading the rounding book helped students with vocabulary
relating to this area in math and tied in reading as well which is important for students at this age to
Guided practice was content specific as well with the slides for each day displaying rounding to
the nearest ten in different ways such as drag and drop and using their whiteboards to show what
they know. This helped engage students and familiarize them with rounding. One other step taken
in this lesson plan was doing a practice test the day before the actual assessment to give students
an idea of what the test looks like and what to expect. Going over answers and explaining how we
got there with those practice questions gave students a fresh review of the weeks content. Blooket
was another really fun and engaging refreshment of content done before the assessment in the
“It’s worth taking time to support small groups, as most students improve with reteaching and
extra practice. I observe how they problem solve through their think-alouds and use this
Small groups was the biggest way I got to help with student needs and really give them that one

numbers out of a bucket made it more fun for students to practice while also letting me see if they

grasped the rounding concept. Independent and group worksheets did this as well because they
allowed the students to practice rounding in different ways. Every student did pass the final
assessment!
