Activity observed in class        Theory                                 Engagement
1. this activity was for     Bruner.             For most of my MST and my lesson we have used this kind
   the high group where      Scaffolding,        on scaffolding. It worked very well, students were engage

   correct position.
2. The teacher taught         (Social            Using social interaction strategy is effective. Especially
   them about ordinal        interaction). Lev   when you ask students to talk to their partner or their
   number. She gave          Vygotsky            group to find the answer. Because they are sharing
   some cards. Students                          different opinion and information, so at the end they might

   pairs.                                        strategy.
    When I taught            Graphic             Students when they learn there should be some scaffolding
    students about using     (Scaffolding)       to help them understand more. When I taught them about
    number line to           Bruner.             using number line to subtract, I printed out a number line
    subtract, each                               on the student’s table. Based on my observation, most of
    student had their
number line. They                     the students benefit from it. So, I am going to use as this
were subtracting the                  kind of scaffolding which is graphic
number using it.
3. We students were     Le Vygotsky   As we teach kids, we must be taking an account of their
   learning greater                   level so we can prepare the activity based on their
   than less than,                    academic level. In my view it is the most important thing,
   and equal to. I                    because if they activity docent match their academic level
   have prepared                      students will stay in their current level without any
   the activity based                 development. As I saw using this strategy is great idea
   on their level.
                                      because students will develop their level if the activity are
                                      suitable for them.
High level: were
dealing with numbers
only from 50-100.
Middle level students
were dealing with
pictures from 1-50.
Low level students
were using objects
which is cube.
4.     When I taught       (iconic)Bruner      Without using these visual direction students might have
     them about ten                            some difficulties or misunderstanding the activity.
     more and ten
     less, I printed out
     the direction
     visually.
5. The teacher was         (Personal           In the begging of my lesson. I am always questioning the
   teaching them           discovery) Bruner   students to see where they are. They have to answer it by
   subtraction, she                            them self. In one of my lesson, I asked them about what
   was telling the                             dose ten frame means. Students had to identify it by them
   students a senior                           self. This activity is worked well for some but other not

6. When I taught       (Concrete)Bruner   Using concrete objects are very helpful. While students
   adding tens and                        used them, they understand more. Especially when they
   once, students                         are counting the tens and once. It did make the learning
   have some cards                        easier than its.
   of equation, they
   used cubes to
   help find the
   answer.
7. When the teacher (Concerts) Bruner     Using concrete should the students what they are doing
   taught them                            exactly. As I saw, this is worked well, and students have
   about ordinal                          benefit from it. I am going to use this next semester.

   students had a
   activity which is
   matching the

   with objects.
