Part 1…………… To begin your Discussion in Week 4, you view a virtual field experience where a teacher implements a cognitively demanding mathematical task in a fourth and fifth grade classroom. As you view the lesson, you complete a template with reflection questions. For your initial discussion, elaborate on one specific reflection question that provided you with a deeper understanding about using problem solving in the classroom that allows students to be engaged in student-to-student discourse. View the video lesson in which a teacher implements a cognitively demanding mathematical task in a fourth and fifth grade multiage classroom. You may find it helpful to view the entire video first, and then go back to view the video again as you stop to reflect and complete the “Virtual Field Experience Reflection Template.” To assist you in interacting with the video experience, note that the reflective conversations are marked with yellow (R)’s at the bottom of the video and the reflection questions are aligned with the video and these conversations. Stop at each (R) and listen to the reflective conversation. Then, take notes on the seven questions using the “Virtual Field Experience Reflection Template” found in the Learning Resources for Week 4. one of the reflection questions from the “Virtual Field Experience Reflection Template” and elaborate on your response. In your post, include what you observed that provided you with a deeper understanding about implementing problem-solving tasks into the classroom that allow students to be engaged in student-to-student discourse? Support your thinking with specific examples from the video using a time stamp and also make connections to observations from your field experience classroom. ———————————————— Part2 Choose one of the physical science activities in the text that incorporates math. The lesson should focus on one of the following: Properties of and changes in matter, motion, and force Light, heat, electricity, and magnetism Transference of energy Complete a “trial run” of the experiment on your own (without students) and videotape the experience. This video should be no longer than five minutes. ———— Upload the video from the inquiry based experiment. Attach a graphic organizer or concept map that you would use to help teach this topic. Explain how this visual component will support student learning. Identify possible misconceptions, misunderstandings, or confusion you thought about while trying the experiment and share how you will address them prior to the start of the lesson. Explain how integrating math and science is a developmentally appropriate practice. Reflect on using the findings of the experiment to make personal or societal decisions. Communicate your findings in your discussion post. Explain what might be done differently in the classroom and explain how trying an experiment prior to teaching can inform instructional practices.
