While one teacher teaches, the other teacher can collect data on student
not enough time too much talking not getting questions answered getting hung up with basic math facts difficulty navigating textbook difficulty reading directions
Station Teaching
Lesson: Converting Improper Fractions into Mixed Numbers, and Mixed Numbers into Improper Fractions
Teacher 1/Station 1: Converting Improper Fractions into Mixed Numbers Teacher 2/Station 2: Converting Mixed Numbers into Improper Fractions Station 3: Independent Practice Station 4: Making models to represent the equivalent Mixed Numbers and Improper Fractions
Parallel Teaching
Teachers
teach the same content at the same time to two separate groups of students
students more supervision and the opportunity for more interaction the option for leveled groups where one group may work with manipulatives while the other group does not
Gives
Offers
Split students into leveled groups One teacher takes the lower students
Other teacher takes takes the higher leveled group and teacher
Focuses on strategies that use only paper and pencil Uses numbers of any quantity
Alternative Teaching
One
teacher has responsibility for the majority of students, other teacher takes a small group
group may consist of students who need:
Small
Lesson: Solving multi-variable equations involving fractions, improper fractions and mixed numbers
One teacher teaches the lesson The other teacher takes a small group of students who are still learning how to work with fractions.
Students are unable to add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions Unable to convert mixed numbers and improper fractions interchangeably Teachers works with small group on these fraction skills
