Lesson 1: Reflection

  • Focused Discussion Questions

    • Which cardinal (counting) number words were students familiar with when the lesson began? How could you use this as a benchmark?
    • How did students cope with the notion of zero and how to record the numeral 0?
    • Which numeral did students struggle with the most? What practice would be good for remediation?
    • How did students grapple with 100 (if you used that specific guiding question)? Were they more or less comfortable with it than the number 20?
    • What were some struggles that students had in connecting the visual model, written numeral, and placement on the number line?
    • When writing the numerals, which ones did students struggle with the most?
    • What adjustments will I make the next time I teach this lesson?
