You begin with familiar concepts and then build on them. You help
students break down the word problems to figure out what information is
important. You involve the students by letting them come to the
smartboard to demonstrate their process. You also use students to act out
the story problems. This is a great strategy though this group gets
discouraged easily when not called on, what can you do to help them stay
engaged even when they are not the focus of attention? You modify your
plans based on observation of student needs, which is important. Lessons
wont always go as planned, but its how you readjust that is most
important. With this group, and their need to feel included, you might
consider using their names in the story problems to help them feel
connected.

Summary Statement: The space you have to work with is very small, but you make the best of it. Having the students sit in front of the board is a good
decision, though its clear they are not used to being in a different setting. You do a nice job of trying to get students to set the materials aside, some follow the
directions, others have difficulty. Would it be better to have them leave the materials at their desk until they need them? Watch your grammar, If I give 2 pieces of
candy to 3 students, how many pieces will I have gave away? Should be will I have given away. Many of the students could answer the questions very
quickly what does this tell you about their understanding? Its possible that some of the off-task behaviors were connected to the fact that they already knew the
material and didnt need to focus as much. One idea would be to have the students create and solve their own word problems they are eager to share with you,
this might have been a good way to focus their attention more on the concepts, and decrease the distractions. You did a great job of staying calm and working to
keep students engaged. The environment is tricky (a 3rd/4th split), not a lot of room, etc., but you make the best of it and consider ways to continue to engage
students in future lessons. Though challenging, you stay positive that says a lot about you as a teacher.
