    Good lesson plan, but I think that the closure part of it needs something a little more substantive.

Thinking about Math Textbooks

How would you respond to the examples given here - as a teacher and as a former student? -        As mentioned in the paper, I believe that teachers also should be mindful of language they speak in classrooms. They need to use approachable language as much as possible, so that students feel more relaxed in classroom and can have a deep, thoughtful conversation with their peers especially when encountered with challenging problem-solving questions. -        During my short practicum, my SA advised me to use indirect instruction. This approach allows students a moment to think about their behaviour and hopefully fix their “inappropriate” behaviours on their own; I think it is some kind of metacognitive strategy that teachers can use in classrooms. -        Looking back to my learning experience in Korea – from elementary to high schools -, I was so used to the environment, ...

Final Reflection

·       Learning math in a traditional manner: o    Since I had studied math in a traditional manner in Korea and Canada, it was quite challenging to approach the new BC curriculum from a different perspective. Thankfully, the readings, math fair experiences from EDCP 343 and the in-class puzzles have inspired me to be creative in how I can combine math concepts with other subject areas, which hopefully attract students’ interests in learning math. ·       Micro-teaching activities: o    Whether the topic was academic or not, I found it very interesting and helpful. Not only did I had an opportunity to teach in front of other teacher candidates, but I was able to observe other and reflect on my teaching style.

The Scales Problem

A market vendor sells dried cooking herbs in whole-number amounts from 1 to 40 grams. The vendor has an old-fashioned two pan weigh scale, and has exactly four weights of different amounts that allows them to weigh out any of these amounts of herbs -- without using the herbs or any other object as an auxiliary weight. 1.      What are the values of the four weights? -        Since the lightest weight is 1 gram, one of the four weights must be 1 gram. -        Now, we have the following weights to measure herbs that weigh from 1 to 40 grams: 1, a, b, and c, where a < b < c . -        I couldn’t see the pattern right away, but I was sure that there must be a pattern for this problem. -        I did lots of trial-and-error methods and figured out that the four weights have to be 1, 3, 9, and 27. -   ...
