Have you checked whether your devices are compatible with what are available in school? These are some of the questions that you can reflect on.
Experience The next activity will delve into the experiences of math teachers and will give you insights on effective lesson planning. Interview three experienced primary grades (Grades 1, 2, or 3) mathematics teachers. Ask him/her the following question: "If you were to give a piece of advice about lesson planning to your rookie teacher self, what would it be?" What are common about their responses? Write them down below.
Assess Answer the following questions to verbalize your understanding of the things to consider when planning instruction in mathematics. 1.
In addition to what has been discussed, explain why content, objectives, students, learning environment, and availability of resources are the essential considerations in planning a lesson.
