A teacher will choose randomly any

name from the box.
Tr: Shamma you will answer

Tr will stop the video and ask: Who

knows what does Equal group mean?
A teacher will pick a name randomly
Tr: I don’t want anyone yelling the
answer, okay?
Tr: Everyone will have a chance to
answer
St possible answer:
Teacher will use coin behavior
management.  Same group
Tr: Shamma you answered right you
will earn 1 dh  Points

Okay, so Equal group means: have

the same number of objects in each
group.
St: Okay
So the teacher will right it in the
board to show the student the
definition

Tr will continue the video

Tr: know I want you to think with me

I have to find

St: 7

Tr: will show the students what each

number represents

Tr: how about if I want to find 21

counters of 7 equal groups St: 7

Tr: Which number represents group? Tr and St will count from 1-21

A teacher will choose randomly any Tr and St: 1,2,3,4,5,6,,,21

name from the box.
Tr: Shamsa you will answer

Tr: Good Job

St: 3
Tr: first we have to make 7 groups and
we will put dots inside each group till
we reach to 21
Tr is counting: I want you all to count St: first we have make groups of 10
with me
Tr: know in each group how many dots
do we have? St: put dot in each group till we count
A teacher will choose randomly any 70
name from the box.
Tr: Sara you will answer St are counting with the teacher

Tr: Excellent

Tr will provide another example using

the students help
Tr: Find 70 ÷ 10 = ? St: we will count how many dots we
Or find 70 counters of 10 groups have in each group

A teacher will ask all the students to

answer the questions on the white
board so everyone is busy answering
St: I will make 10 groups and I will count
A teacher will choose randomly any 70 dots and appeal it inside the groups
name from the box. equally.
Tr: Nadra you will answer

Tr: Nadra tell me what do we do first?

St: I will count how many one group has
Tr: Good job Nadra, you will earn 1 dh

Tr: then what we will do?

St: 7

Reflection:

 The lesson was about divide using equal groups. I taught the lesson in
the classroom. The previous lesson the students learned divide using
number line.
 A teacher was trying to achieve goals, like Implementing Learning and to
go through the learning outcome and always look for where the student has
trouble and work on it to make it improve by a variety of strategies.
In the starter, the teacher starts with : today we will learn how to divide using equal
groups

Tr will show the students a video that will show how to divide using equal groups.
Also, repeat what does the equal group mean.

I think that students responded to this activity the way that they did because a
teacher introduces and model then practice divide using equal group. So, the
learner did understand the concept and answered the right answer. For example,
Tr: how about if I want to find 21 counters of 7 equal groups
Tr: first we have to make 7 groups and we will put dots inside each group till we
reach to 21
Tr is counting: I want you all to count with me, and they found the answer.
 The learner answer: 3
 I think that students responded to this activity the way that they did because
a teacher introduces and model then practice for reading the story. So, the
learner did understand the concept and answer the right answer.

In the main activity, each group of Emergent, Developed, Master had an activity.
low group will (cubes activity)
Tr will give each student in Low group an cubes and questions
(Kaboom activity)
Middle group
Tr will give the students a Kaboom
This Kaboom it has questions on it
High group
(division bones and White board activity)
Tr will give each student a white boards and they will have questions and they
have to draw the equal groups
St will have questions and they have to answer by using cubes

For example, student will have a question like

Find 30 ÷ 5 = ?
Or find 30 counters of 5 groups
St must know that they have to make with the cubes dots in 5 groups
St will have Kaboom questions and they can choose either to draw on the
white board or use a manipulatives to show the answer
For instance, student will have question : Find 24 ÷ 4 = ?
Student will make groups of 4 and fill them eith dots till they reach to 24
and at the last they will count how many in one group

At the end student will write the final answer on the Kaboom

Finally each pair will assess their friends and check their answer √

questions

Analyze (A):
Why do you think the students responded the way that they did?
How well did your teaching relate to the students’ prior understanding?
How well did you engage the students?
 First, a teacher used introduce, model, practice. It showed the student the right
way to learn and gave them time to ask if they misunderstood anything.
Furthermore, nothing will be right for the first time because it’s new, the teacher
was positive about it.
 Every group did very well, a teacher support emergent group by manipulatives , a
developed group were enjoying the activity by drawing, a master group was
challenging each other by difficult questions.

The educator used hands-on activity to engage the students. According to Thankful,
Fast forward to the early 2000's, and increasing pressure for drastic improvements on
national test scores led to a nationwide shift in education. Schools were faced with the
challenge of improving test scores while also staying under budget. They were ultimately
forced to cut programs like sewing and home economics, and focus their attention on
creating a more lecture based curriculum geared towards improving test scores and
decreasing spending. Later, after STEM classes were deemed more desirable and
ultimately affordable, arts programs, once part of schools' core class offerings, were cut.

 The teacher used hands-on activity for the learner. Students were learning by
using manipulatives.

Appraise (A):
Explain the nature of the experience from the students’ perspective
Did your lesson meet your teaching goals?
Mcleod noticed that, Bruner (1960) explained how this was possible through the
concept of the spiral curriculum. This involved information being structured so that
complex ideas can be taught at a simplified level first, and then re-visited at more
complex levels later on. Therefore, subjects would be taught at levels of gradually
increasing difficultly (hence the spiral analogy). Ideally, teaching his way should lead to
children being able to solve problems by themselves.
 In my point of view, I think that student’s perspective in the lesson was great, they
were attending and focusing in the concept, which helped me to achieve my goal
when I used Show Me, that everybody was answering the correct answer. In
addition, students solved the questions by themselves.
 The lesson met my goal, so when I used the strategy of Show Me, I have noticed
that most of the students were answering right.

Transform (T):
How might you enhance student learning of this lesson in the future?
What are the implications for your professional practice?
 In the future, I would like to introduce model learning in a way that I get
everybody’s attention in less time in centers.
As the Responsive Classroom argues that, “Interactive Modeling is a simple, quickly
paced way of teaching that can lead students to a stronger mastery of skills than
traditional modeling. It’s effective for teaching any skill or procedure that students need
to do in a specific way, such as filling out an answer sheet or talking with a partner about
a reading selection. Interactive Modeling works because, in contrast to lecturing or
traditional modeling, it creates a clear mental image of the expected behavior for
students, fully engages them in noticing details about it, and immediately gives them a
chance to practice and receive teacher feedback (ResponsiveClassroom, 2013).

 A teacher developing idea and practices about science performance assessment:

Successes, stumbling blocks, and implications for professional development.
