Direct Instruction
The learning intention for this lesson was to;
Change fractions to equivalent fractions.
In this video we are working on our fractions knowledge and applying this knowledge to some problem solving activities. With their fractions understanding, students then created some videos to share this learning with others.
Reflection
At the end of the session the students all had a good understanding of how to change fractions to all have the same denominator. They were then able to order a range of fractions.
The students collaborated with each other really well, they were using a lot of good vocabulary and explanations when they were discussing their learning.
I still don’t think I have nailed the camera angles, at times when I was presenting information to the workshop group, I think it would have been better to see their faces more.
Next Steps
In my next lesson I would like more of my video to focus on the ‘create’ aspect of the lesson sequence.
