Reflection:
o What do I want the students to know and what will I accept as evidence?
 I want the students to know and make corrections of the mistakes they made on their Order of Operations in-class
assignment. They have to show evidence of their corrections on their assignment through working in a small
group.
 I want the students to recall how to represent percents that are greater than 100, fractional and whole using
hundred grids diagram. The evidences are their workbook work, response to oral discussion with their small group
and as a class.

o Was your lesson successful? What is your evidence?


I consider that my my lesson was successful. Students were engaged during the lesson. They did all the tasks they were
told to do. They asked questions about the tasks they were doing.

o What would you do differently next time?


 Do “number talk” (problem of the day) at the beginning of class where they can practice mental math
 Include problems that will develop students’ problem solving and critical thinking skills
 More formative assessment and improve classroom management
