Observation Notes:
A continuing lesson on solving rational equations using LCD and cross products. Mr. Elzer presented several examples and then gave several for the students to do. He then took their feedback to help explain the problems. Then he gave several more practice problems for them to try. Each student did his/her work on individual white boards.

Commendations:
You picked up on my suggestion to have students go to the board to do requested homework problems. Also, you are using a laser pointer (yea!). Your presentations are well- organized and very easy for students to see/follow. Good mixture of I do, they do.

Recommendations:
See other page. I could not paste content using text generated by Equation Editor.
