InTime Video

I chose to view the video on the graphing Linear Equations, here the teacher was actively addressing the material through pre and post questioning. The teacher had a differntiating lesson that addressed each students learning pattern and ablilities. The lesson was a success because there was a variety of ways the teacher introduced the material. I was very impressed with her lesson plan and her indepth questions that engaged each student and allowed the teacher to assess each students understanding and correct for any misunderstandings.

From what I have learned in the past week I can honestly the one thing I will find to be the most effective is the Evaluation Tool assignment. I was unaware of these online evaluation tools, and was highly impressed with the California Learning Resource Network. Their site listed numerous criteria that had to be satisfied prior to being considered a suitable ELR for classroom usage. I found many great online resources for teachers of mathematics, many of which included interactive games for students and lesson planning suggestion for the teacher. I will definitely adapt many of these resources into my classroom.
