Teaching Lesson 2

I did not spend as much time as I should have on instruction at the beginning of the lesson. Through the teaching process, I realized what worked well with the website and what might have caused problems with a large class of fourth grade students. Each student had his/her lesson modified during the lesson; one student had her lesson modified to make it a less frustrating and a less difficult experience. I encouraged the other two students to decide if they liked making equivalent fractions with squares or circles better and evaluate which they thought was more difficult. The students were reassured that the lesson would not count as a grade in the grade book even though I wanted to see the score that the students received at the end of the lesson.
