Interactive Teaching Strategies

During the field placement, I observed many interesting aspects about Mrs. Hampston′s class my teacher partner at Monitor Elementary School. My teacher partner works in small group with children that really need it. In this way, she personalizes her lesson based on students’ needs. All of them have the opportunity to speak, participate and gain confidence. During the week students were learning about measurement and problem solving. They create their own ruler and label it. They also learn about how to split a unit, add fraction and how to convert fractions in units and vice versa. Students increase their vocabulary: fractions, congruent, equivalent. She scaffolds the lesson so students build up their knowledge. I really love these Math lessons lead by Mrs. Hampton using easy and understandable experiments.
