Lesson Reflection:

Monday The students did very well with the addition and subtraction portion of this unit, so
today we moved on to multiplying and dividing. The students enjoy division, so I think this unit
will go well. The students are struggling to remember to line the numbers up right to left and not
by decimals, so this was something I had to emphasize all day.

Tuesday I had the students complete an entry slip as soon as they got into the room. Then I did a
quick check while the students were doing a bathroom break. AWFUL. The students got their
steps right, but made very careless mistakes like 8+5=15 and saying 32 will not go into 64.
Several were bad about not putting their decimals. So, today we completed a lot of practice. By
the end of the period they were doing much better. I gave the students some practice problems to
do on their own and then I worked in small groups with some students.

Wednesday The students loved the relay we completed on the board. It came down to a tie
breaker because each side missed one problem. I was glad the students were so excited about this
activity. I did not do competitions like this often, but they do a lot of different similar things
among their groups.
Thursday The students competed the Dibels test for majority of the class period, so we were not
able to complete the study guide. However, after the students completed the Dibels there was
about 20 minutes left in class, so I allowed to play with the diner math. They loved it. I was
afraid they would think it was childish, but it was a hit.

Friday The students completed Dibels testing again today, so unfortunately I did not have them
in the classroom to complete the study guide. However, the students loved the diner math so
much that I decided to make them packets to use as their study guides. I do not like to give
“homework” over the weekend, but the students enjoyed this so much, and several asked if they
could take the menus home! I thought this would be perfect and they didn’t seem to mind.
