V. Reflective Response

A. Report of Student Performance in Terms of Stated Objectives (Reflection on

student performance written after lesson is taught, includes remediation for
students who fail to meet acceptable level of achievement)
This lesson was my authentic assessment. The students were given a
certain amount of money to spend on snowman parts. The students had to first
buy snow, then they could buy as little or as much of each part as they saw fit
as long as they had enough money to do so. The students had a worksheet they
needed to fill out where they had to record amount of money they have, item
they were buying, cost of the item, and to show their work. Overall, the
students did fantastic on this assignment. Out of 21 students, ten students
received a 20/20 (100%), eight students received an 18/20 (90%), one student
received a 15/20 (75%), one student received a 13/20 (65%), and one student
received a 0/20. The overall class average for this assignment was a 372/420
or 89%.
Remediation Plan
For the students who received the 75% and 65%, I looked over their work
and I found that they had made simple subtraction regrouping errors which
affected their score according to the rubric, one student also did not properly
fill out his worksheet which he lost points for. I would meet with these two
students together and we would take a close look at their work together and
review their errors. I believe these mistakes could have been avoided if the
students had checked over their work when they finished so I would teach the
students different strategies to check their work. The student who received a
0/20 on this assignment refused to participate. Since I know this student is
very capable of completing this work, I would sit down with this student and
talk about why he refused to complete this project. I continuously asked him if
he understood the directions and he repeatedly told me yes, but he still refused
to complete the assignment.
B. Personal Reflection (Questions written before lesson is taught. Reflective
answers to question recorded after lesson is taught)
What could I do to improve my lesson for next time?
I would increase the amount of money that the students have to work with this
way they would be solving more problems.
How was I with time management and classroom behavior?
Timing was great, pretty perfect because we ended right on time and had plenty of
time for calendar. Behavior today was a little all over the place but it was mostly positive.
What was one part of my lesson that went well?
The kids really enjoyed buying their snowmen parts. This lesson was a great
success overall.
