We've just observed a problem involving Building Viewpoints with a focus on connections. 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.
Questions to write and reflect about:
- What previous mathematics concepts does this lesson connect to? What connections are embedded throughout this lesson?
- How does making connections enable students to move from building and viewing the structure to being able to draw the views just by looking at the building plan?
- Once students have completed a task, what questions might you ask to help them connect their thinking to other mathematical ideas?
- How could you extend this task?
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.
