Lesson 1 Reflection

The teacher was unable to complete all planned objectives for the lesson due to students having less prior knowledge than expected. Most students demonstrated understanding of polynomials and GCF when called on to answer questions aloud at the end. For the next lesson, the teacher plans to focus more on factoring special products or teaching from pre-made materials if needed.

Post Lesson Reflection

1. The lesson objectives were to be able to recognize a polynomial, to be able to


define and show the GCF of a polynomial, and to be able to factor
polynomials. The first two objectives were met and the third was not.
Because the students had less prior knowledge then I had predicted, I spent
more time on GCF and polynomials and was unable to finish the factoring
portion. However, I think the students clearly understood GCF and
polynomials since I had spent more time on this. This was evident because
before I moved on I had the students shout out answers and most of the
students shouted out the correct answers showing their comprehension.
2. If were to change this lesson I would have ended the class a little bit better
on a finished conclusion instead of in the middle of having them solve a
problem. I wish I would have planned less material to cover, so that I was
able to feel like I finished all of it. I also wish I would have been able to teach
them how to multiply binomials before teaching them to factor, however, I
know that it is not my class so I have no control over that. I would have made
the questions on the warm-up easier if I had a better understanding of where
their prior knowledge was at. I also wish I had organized the warm-up to start
with the easiest questions and work towards the harder questions.
3. I envision the next lesson to be factoring again with but this time with special
products (ax-b)^2 or (ax+b)^2 or (ax-b)(ax+b). Shirley Martinson also said
that she was fine if any day I just wanted to walk up to the board and teach
based on her pre-made PowerPoints and worksheets so its possible that may
be my next lesson too.
