Observing Ms. Douglas 5th graders classes: Math1 and Math2
At the beginning of the class, Ms Douglas showing a video that made by them. Interviewer/interviewee, cameraman, MC, weather forecast-> role-play script (do the exact what the video shown)
Using clickers to review the math progress check.
Shaking hand and say good morning
Showing things: a gift from and for
Fact/fiction: 2 truths and a lie
Telling about you that you want others wanna know about you.
Introduce myself
Smart board use in class: touch screen and documenting the writing on the board.
Active students: gave them chance to raise hand
Checking their math work and work with the problem (how to solve) notes and charts.
Using clickers
Tell them this is the first time might be technical difficulty.
Talk about the clickers (introduce)
Response system, ppt
Sensor (back of the computer)
Record the answer
Progress check to know whether the students
Know who ready or not
Expectations what are the suppose they to before can still change until the polling is closed
To know where you at, engage & interactive -> tell the reasons why
Clicker expectations: (no timer)
Take care, use as a tool, follow our class rules, what are the penalties, answer to best of your ability, be patient, more tolerate, cooperate.
Tell them how to activate the clickers, distribute the clickers, polls open and close
Sometimes they have to click together to make sure everyone has clicked it.
Question point -> by certain indicator
Students’ reaction
This feels fun
Makes math easier
Think faster
Excited with the result who got it wrong and right
Respect to who got it wrong
Make them complete in fun ways
Self-motivated to be 100%
More improve to the next questions
So excited when everyone got them right
Protect from cheating
Explain why they got it wrong and right
Mistakes as experiments
Submit the clickers
Turning point -> hardware specs
Clicker; it collects data
Starts when everyone’s ready
Motivate students analyze problems
Fast results and critical thinking
Great assessment
Paper and pencil
Traditional, no fun, quiet, no excitement, less motivated, slow pace, cheating
Clickers
Help them using calculators
Don’t get too excited (remind them)
Working together
Track students more closely
Analyze the technology
All do math differently in may correct ways
(-) each students were telling each other the right answer to make it 100%
They will very satisfy if they were able to calculate it rightly
User feedback?
Think fastly
Avoid the same mistakes
Students reaction think the clicker was:
Interactive, awesome, use everytime before test, wait and participate with the whole class, math with fun, smart technology.
