Rapport is strong, love how you refer to student answers after working with the video…when the video plays.

I really like how you broke down the factors testing it number by number. Your questioning during the lesson is fabulous.
Responsible for two groups today without Mrs. F. This is a great feel for you of how a true co-teaching situation would work.
Be sure to reach all in that small group work to keep them on task when group is so large. Could you toss a ball student to student
to call on students? Could you use some flashcards with numbers to pick out the factors in the center of the group? Vary some
small group answer ways (before the sheet) to keep students more engaged. Great opportunity here.
During the course of the sheet, you had students solve problems and check with you before grabbing the exit slip. GREAT!! Check
number 12 again!! Love this! I like how you constantly referred them to the strategy of checking all the factors one by one. “I know
it takes some time but you have to do it.”
I recent saw a boy on a game show who was able to tell the divisibility of a number by looking at the last number(s) and looking for
specific patterns. This is advanced, but might be neat to show some of your higher students (differentiation). I emailed you the
chart.
Consider names on exit slip papers ahead of time…as students come to you and you send back - tally (or note) how many times
they were sent back or other notes. That way when you collect the exit slip, you have a reminder of what they did.
Good Progress. Keep up the good work you are doing just fine!
