Solving Two-Step Word Problems: All Operations

Entry #4: (10/11/19)


Synopsis:

While I worked at the District 9 DOE school in the South Bronx during the 2018-2019 academic year, I learned a vast amount of techniques on how to properly address, teach and maintain an ICT elementary class. Part of the challenge was creating lesson plans for math. Even though members of the administration never approached me asking to review the lesson plan for the day, I still conducted myself as if the situation could occur, which pushed me to always keep myself prepared with lesson plans. The below sample teaches students how to tackle multi-step problems involving all operations. Half of the class would tackle only one part of the problem while assuming the second part would be too complex to solve and just give up. I believe my co-teacher did not do a good job at properly tackle word problems as a whole which made their advancement into multi-step problems a maze they couldn't get out of.


Reflection:
Please feel free to give me as much honest feedback as possible. What would you have done differently?
