One suggestions for improvement that came up an many of the feedback forms was that it would be better to have clearer learning objectives. I feel that one thing that contributed to this unclarity was some confusion in how were going to handle the discussion of the logic games. We had discussed ideas as a group, then typed up a lesson plan, but when it came down to actually implementing it, we found that we lacked the time, we did a bit of improvisation. I found it interesting that a common positive on the feedback forms was that our lesson seemed organized which I’m not sure I would agree with.
I think our group did well on engaging our students. We did not find this too difficult because of our topic but it challenges us to find ways to make math fun for other topics. Another pro was that lesson was mainly student-led. I think that this is related to how many thought our lesson was engaging. I feel that if students feel like they are developing their own understanding and not just sitting listening to someone lecturing them, they are more likely to be engaged and learn. It is important, however, to make sure we provide adequate guidance in these more student-led lessons.
