| What I Already New | What I Learned |
| · At the beginning of the school year, you have to decide what your children will accomplish during the year. · Most schools prepare scope-and-sequence charts or guides. · It’s probably a good idea to double check with other teachers and the principal. · When you plan a lesson, try to ask children questions that make them think deeper as opposed to asking them to recall a fact from memory. · Really understanding the students and the level that they should be at is essential to planning – getting that wrong will throw off all your planning! | · Textbook series sometimes come with scope-and-sequence charts or guides. · Some schools require teachers to have a lesson plan book where the objectives for each day’s lessons for a week are outlined in detail. · Try and incorporate the use of manipulative materials in planning – research indicates lessons with manipulative materials have higher probability in achieving better mathematical achievement. · Importance of initiative in learning - learning is most efficient when the student can identify where they specifically need help and then get the help they need. Plan your lessons to be open to letting students take initiative. |
The chart above simply sums up what I already knew or assumed prior to chapter 3, as well as what I didn’t know previously and now know after reading. All in all – the message about the importance of planning has been received!
