Week 8

The unit I read was in chapter 4 on the world of geometry.
1. I liked how the teacher has such a passion for math and how she used differentiation to help her students learn all they could about geometry.
2. I learned of the things I could use to help me differentiation a lesson. This is what one teacher said she used; “Interest and learning style surveys given at the beginning of the year, along with observation and consistent anecdotal records, has supplied me with information about individual students’ preferred approaches to learning tasks, as well as their areas of special interest.”
3. What I am stuck on a little bit is how there are 11 lessons, but only 7 lessons have differentiated components in them. I guess if you only have 1 differentiation thing in a whole unit, the whole unit is classified under differentiation. Or is it?
4. I would have to modify lesson 8, when the teacher uses round robin to review.
5. I would modify that because the method used in round robin is not the best method to use.
6. I would use instead the jigsaw method instead to help review what they have learned before moving on.
