Topic 13 L7 Reflection:

A. Report of Students’ Performance in Terms of States Objectives (Reflection on student

performance written after lesson is taught, includes remediation for students who failed to
meet acceptable level of achievement)
a. About a half of the students were confused about the lesson and what was being
taught. This concept was hard for them to grasp and part of the cause of that was
the lack of diversity in learning styles. There aren't a lot of visual and hands-on
aspects to the lesson and I think the students struggled because of that. The
students need to be able to compare fractions without the use of hands-on aspects
though because they have to do that in upper grades. While the students were
working independently there was more clarification provided and assistance when
needed. Remediation will be provided during morning work time. The students
will be given a handout to practice the concept. If questions arise I will be
walking around to provide clarification.
B. Personal Reflection
a. This lesson did not go as well as I’d hoped. I had thought the students were
originally doing really well and were understanding the concept while it was
being taught. When it came to independent work, when the students had to apply
the skill, a lot of them declined and were really struggling. I was very frustrated
because I knew it wasn’t my teaching that was bad. I was frustrated because I
knew that this concept was just overly complicated and hard for them to grasp.
I’m hoping that remediation will allow them to practice the concept more and
gain a higher understanding.
Topic 13 L6 Reflection:

A. Report of Students’ Performance in Terms of States Objectives (Reflection on student

performance written after lesson is taught, includes remediation for students who failed to
meet acceptable level of achievement)
a. 21 out of 21 students successfully used the number lines, in their workbook, to
compare different fractions and determine what fractions are greater, lesser, and
equal to one another. While the students were working I walked around to check
 for accuracy. I had to provide minimal clarification because the students seemed
to really understand how they can use the number lines to compare different
fractions. I did not feel that any remediation was necessary. All of the students
were successful in their work.
B. Personal Reflection
a. I believe this lesson went really well. The students seem to understand how to
compare fractions using a number line, better than they understand other methods
of comparing fractions like fraction tiles and mnemonics. Almost all the students
were very attentive and listened to directives well. This lesson didn’t address too
many learning styles but I think it did provide great visuals for students to use to
compare the fractions. They could see right in front of them where each fraction
was located and which one was the greater number, lesser number, etc.
