We've just observed a problem that involved thinking about counting numbers with a focus on problem solving. Now we'd like you to write about your own classroom practice. As you make your journal entry, use the material you've just seen and read as a context. Read the following questions and answer one in light of the students and content you teach.
Questions to write and reflect about:
- In what ways is this lesson a rich topic for young children to explore?
- How does the problem encourage mathematical discussion among the students?
- What is the role of the teacher in creating a classroom environment that is conducive to effective problem solving? Be specific.
Three ways to write and reflect:
- Use pen and paper.
- Use a word processor.
- Use the form below.
Be sure to save what you have written before you navigate out of the journal section.
Thanks for writing in your journal. Please keep your entries in whatever format you choose -- you will find them useful for reference later.
