I attest this submission is accurate, true, and in compliance with GCU policy guidelines, to the best of my ability to do so.
When I entered the room, Mrs. Spriggs was going over some spiral review activities with the students.
The students were seated on the carpet and Spriggs was seated in front of them.
Spriggs transitioned into the math lesson with a math story. The story was presented to the students on
the SmartBoard. “8 ducks are swimming in the pond. 4 ducks fly away. How many ducks are still
swimming in the pond?”
She then used the CUBE method to guide the students through solving the problem.
The students used a number bond to write an equation and then solve. 8-4=4
After the group solved the problem, Spriggs called the students by groups to go to their stations. The
group called Thunder came to meet her on the floor on the carpet. The Lightening group went to work
on computers.
At the carpet, Spriggs gave an overview of what the students would be working on in their session.
Spriggs then read the math story. She drew the number of circles to represent the number of students
in the math story, 6. Then, they discussed how many needed to be crossed out, 2. They then drew a
number bond to write the equation.
The students had to put the whole first, 6 and then identify the parts, 2 and 4. And developed the
equation 6-2=4. She then had them to develop the related addition problem.
She then gave the students a white board to work on with their partner. She read the scenario to the
students and gave them time to work on their number bond.
As the students worked, Spriggs offered support and reminders. She gave each group an opportunity to
share. She made sure that students had time to get the correct answers.
They good several problems together at the carpet. After, they were done, Spriggs had the students put
away the materials and get clipboards. Once the students got their clipboards, they got a pencil and
went to their spots. They were then provided a math handout to complete on their own.
Spriggs had the students to write their name on their paper and put their hands on their head to show
they were done with the task.
Spriggs led the students through working on 3 problems together. She read the math story. Then had
the students to cross out the correct number of objects and fill in the number bond. They wrote the
subtraction fact and the related addition equation.
After the students finished the remaining problems on their own as an exit ticket. Spriggs helped the
students as needed and made sure that they understood what was required of them. Once the students
met with her about their performance, she sent them to turn in the clip boards and sit on the red line
for transition.
Notes:
Spriggs’ cooperating teacher, Mrs. Simmons notes that Spriggs maintains excellent classroom
management. She is very mindful of what is going on in class. She learns from missteps and makes the
necessary changes immediately. She asks questions and offers assistance to other student teachers on
campus as well.
Spriggs should also work on stating what she is about to do so that students are sure about the
expectations. She also has to stop calling on a child to answer the question because the other students
check-out of the lesson when their name is not called.
Mrs. Simmons suggests that Spriggs be sure to give out points steadily for positive behavior by students.
She also suggests a better use of transitional times. For example, when the students are getting clip
boards, let the other partner grab the paper and pencil to avoid excessive traffic.
