math reflection

Select (S):  Identify a lesson and what standards are you addressing Today I teach the student about the numbers from 1-5 and the theme is about all about me. So, I try to match all of topic. First, I let them count by their hands from number 1-5. Then we sing “one little figure” and this song talk about the part of the body for example “eyes, figure, hand, chin, nose, and etc.…”. Then we put the number in order from one to five and I ask some students to help me. We sing Alice the camel song and I think it talk about our culture. Finally, we play a game and move the red card and when stop the music I will ask the students who have the number about the numbers if he/she answer they will get a sticker. And I think that I did a lot activity at the carpet.

Describe (D):  Who is the lesson for? My lesson is for KG1 students. They focus in this week at the numbers from 1-5. This lesson includes all the student’s ability.  Where did the lesson take place? The lesson is inside and outside the classroom. Also, at the table and down in the floor. So, the students can do whatever what they want to did in the class. They also play in different center and they have fun in the classroom.  What were you trying to achieve in your lesson? I try to let the students memorize the numbers by different way and different idea.   What did the students do? The student plays with me at the carpet and they count by their figure from 1-5. Also, they sing a lot of song that it is match the theme and the culture. Then, they did the activates in the classroom and out of the class. They have fun.

Analyze (A):  Why do you think the students responded the way that they did? if they find something interesting they will do their best to achieve this thing. However, if they didn’t like what I did they will be boring and didn’t like to go to any center. As you see, when I let the student sit in the carpet they start to jump that because too did the activity and they are very interesting about it.  How well did your teaching relate to the students’ prior understanding? By having a different activity that will have a fun by different way. That will let them have an interesting time with the children.  How well did you engage the students? First I play for them Alice the camel song and then I let them play a game with a red card and they play this game in the carpet. I think they have fun.

Appraise (A):  Explain the nature of the experience from the students’ perspective they learn the numbers from 1-5.  And they memorize the number by different way. Also, they use their muscles to paint and play the playdough. Also, to make the puzzle and write the numbers.  Did your lesson meet your teaching goals? Yes, the student understands and memorize the numbers from 1-5. And, they have fun and this is important. It helps them to understand and memorize quickly.

Transform (T):  How might you enhance student learning of this lesson in the future?  Mabey I can use outside the classroom more than inside. Let the student search and bring 5 things. So, that will help them to memorize the numbers and count from 1-5.  What are the implications for your professional practice?  I feel that I can be a good teacher to teach the students in the classroom and let them have fun time in the classroom. Also, I can let the students memorize the numbers by using different way.
