Observing Math Instruction Jeraldine Smith Grand Canyon University EED 364 Amanda Bruce September 23‚ 2012 On September 20‚ 2012 I observed in Mr. Jones 1st grade math class. The lesson was based on how to teach addition and subtraction to first grader. In this paper I will be observing an elementary mathematic lesson based on a math standards. The standards The National Council of Teachers of Mathematic (NCTM) are to guide educators on how to teach math the correct way. In comparing

MATH RATIONALE “The mathematic mind is a mind that is especially interested in mathematics. Rather than find them boring and absurd‚ they find them interesting and absorbing. It is a fact that most children in our Montessori schools manage to achieve great enthusiasm while working with mathematics. Is the preparation of their minds that allows them to reach this pleasure." Maria Montessori‚ London Lectures‚ 1946‚ p 41 Mathematics has always been a difficult subject for students. Many children

Now throughout this course‚ I realize that I need a great amount of math skills before I can even consider teaching math skills. Math is a difficult concept to teach

When looking back on Math 297‚ I am reminded of the first time I heard mention of the course in Math 157 by Shari Dorsey. Shari was sharing with the class that in the fall a special topics class was going to be available‚ the topic being instruction in the middle years. I was so eager to sign up for the course that I emailed the instructor‚ Margaret Kinzel‚ immediately requesting a permission number. The eagerness to secure myself a position in this course stems from a desire to have as thorough

What Do Mathematics and Being a Math Teacher Mean to Me? Mathematics‚ for me‚ is a science of systematic way of thinking. Symbols (e.g. numbers) are meant for representation‚ accuracy and precision. Mensuration‚ which is very useful both in practical purposes and other sciences‚ is a great example as proof. Manipulation of these symbols produces systematic representation and pattern. For an instance‚ an individual who is good in constructing‚ determining‚ and manipulating equations as well as inequalities

and using math in a game will get the students to be interested in math. Games can range from fun whole class involvement to using technology and playing mathematics games on the computer. To apply this strategy I would set up games for the whole class to participate in. Games could be using addition‚ subtraction‚ multiplication‚ etc. strategies to solve problems. If computers are available‚ I would also find an appropriate game for each individual student to play and practice their math skills.

Math is one course that I enjoy learning a lot. I feel challenged every time I try to solve a math problem and I feel great being able to solve it the right way. I have been learning math from many years now and I have had many experiences‚ good and bad‚ some of which I would like to share. One of my greatest experiences in mathematics was in 12th grade when I had recently moved from New Jersey to Illinois. My dad’s shift in his job made us move to a suburb of Chicago- Palatine. I was afraid if
