Journal #9
2nd Co-Teaching
Team
Today’s lesson was simple, fun, and well thought out. The
Team of Holden, Erin, Sam, and Tyler did a great job on the lesson. Holden introduced
the game 24 and and nearly all of the co-teachers loved the activity because it
was faceted around math, while also remaining fun.
Establishing an accurate time table was noticeably tough
for the group, and they also struggled to find an efficient way to run the game
to ensure that each student had a fair shot at winning. I suggested a bracket a
bracket similar to that of one used for college basketball and their group went
with it. After tweaking and adjusting their lesson plan, the group but we came
up with the idea of the 24 cycling into the Kids in College (KIC) Legacy
project well and efficiently. Ultimately, they designed the bracket so that
once a student was eliminated from the competition, they would instantly be
sent into the back room to begin the legacy project.
As what seems to have become a trend with myself,
Victoria, and Ty, we waited patiently in the back room for our first group of
students to arrive and get started the legacy project. Once the students began
to arrive, they arrived in bunches! At one point, we had 15 students drawing on
one sheet of paper at the same time. I feel that we managed it well, and
handled all of it in a quick and efficient manner.
Once the students were in the back and completed their
legacy project, Ty worked with them and used the balance to help the students
better understand integers and prime numbers. All in all, the lesson flowed
very well, and I believe that the students loved it more than we did.
