Lesson Planning

Lesson Planning

1. Accomodate

   • Make a variety of student groupings available
     • Allows for constant and varied feedback
     • Students can see what other students do to self-check
   • Give one instruction at a time
     • Steps can easily be written down to ensure students know where we're going and what they are expected to complete at each stage
   • Calculators are tools that people use to reach the beautiful math beyond computations - Use them as such.
   • Time is a dependent variable not independent

2. Instruction

   • Include all types of teaching methods. (i.e. Auditory, Visual, Kinesthetic)
   • Should be sparse unless necessary
     • Send them on a path to discover content

3. Manipulatives

   • Hands on -> Minds on
     • Games to teach
       • Conceptual learning rather than factual - benefits students who are struggling with math due to anxiety or conditions like dyscalculia
     • Let students explore the content and make learning intuitive
