You planned a lesson that focused on unit of measure. Your objectives were correctly worded and matched the Common Core Standards for math. You planned a warm-up activity, mental math and to introduce a new concept involving two systems of measurement. You also planned the materials which included measuring devices for students to use. You scripted the lesson generally, including questions that you wanted to ask throughout the lesson. This preparation gives you the mental rehearsal needed to present a smooth lesson.

____Distinctive Evidence (Candidate and Student) Mental math questions involved various concepts. Nice review. You handled the probability question smoothly. Its hard to think that students would not be familiar with a deck of cards, suits and how the cards are numbered. You actually said there are 12 cards in each suite which would make a 48 card deck. There are actually 13. But there are 52. So a minor mistake because you taught how to figure probability but thats the kind of thing that is hard to catch when thinking on ones feet. You used the math book, having students read a section on page 479 It was a multiple step problem. The warm up and mental math got their brains in gear, This problem then asked them to think it through and arrive at a solution that they could explain. It was interesting to hear their thinking. There was an irrelevant piece of information in the problem, the time element. Its a good idea to point that out or ask them to identify it. You shifted quickly to the relationships between different measurements. You referred to a chart in the book. It may have helped to have every kid point to the right place on the chart to you have a visual of who is with you and can direct them. There were some frustrated kids when you were reading from the book. Might they want to figure things out and speak about their thoughts?

You planned informal assessment data collection. You also planned how you could use the data to make decisions about student understanding. Its good to know how students will be held accountable for learning. Try to find out what kind of formal assessment there will be so you can have it in mind when planning lessons and collecting data. When its your classroom your unit plans will include the assessments and when they will be given so youll already know this.
