Directions for Assignment 4 — 7 pages APA7th ed.
Step 1: Locate at least 2 videos showing best practices of mathematics in elementary school. This assignment requires you to reflect on practice by comparing the strategies employed by the two ‘observed’ teachers. Use the two websites below:
Step 2: Watch the video below
https://study.com/academy/lesson/scaffolding-student-knowledge-in-mathematics.html
Step 4: Complete your reflective analysis and conclusion presenting your overall position and reaction to what was observed and how classroom practice reflects theory in the teaching of mathematics.
Assignment 4 should be approximately seven pages in length. The information below is where you will find the class Textbook, which needs to be cited in both assignments (numerous times). Reference is pages needed.

Introduction
Data Background Information (share information about each objective on each Video – Total of 2)
• Talk about different Teaching Approach
Teacher Observation Notes (share information about each objective on each Video – Total of 2)
• Information on the Analytical Observations of the Teacher, Students, Learning Environment and Teaching Resources/Instructions .
• Observe teaching styles/strategies: (e.g., Authority, Delegator, Facilitator Style, Demonstrator, or a combination; student-centered vs. teacher-centered.
• What teaching techniques and different learning methods are visible?)
Delivery of Instruction (share information about each objective on each Video – Total of 2)
• Provided detailed descriptions of the observed teachers’ use of delivery of effective teaching practices in the elementary mathematics classroom.
• Provided 3 or more instances where strategies were used to modify and/or accommodate individual students’ learning (including ESOL/LEP/ESE students).
use of effective teaching practices in the elementary mathematics classroom
use of specific teaching strategies or materials in teaching mathematics with ESOL/LEP/ESE
use of specific teaching strategies or materials in teaching mathematics to students with exceptionalities
managed the instructional environment (e.g., organized materials, paced instruction, delivering engaging, student-centered instruction)
Use of Technology/Instructional Materials (share information about each objective on each Video – Total of 2)
• Provided detailed descriptions of technology and other resources used to enhance student learning and instructional practices.
• Demonstration of K-6 Mathematical Competencies and Skills
• Were instructional materials modified for ESOL/LEP/ESE students?
Roles During Instruction (share information about each objective on each Video – Total of 2)
• Provided detailed descriptions of the roles played by:
role of the teacher during various lesson activities
role of students during various lesson activities
valuing student mathematics contribution to the elementary classroom
Assessment Strategies (share information about each objective on each Video – Total of 2)
• To what degree did they utilize the observed strategies?
• The teacher candidate provided detailed descriptions of the teachers’ use of three (3) or more appropriate assessment strategies e.g., monitoring students’ skill development, using effective questioning strategies to stimulate critical thinking, problem-solving, and reasoning, and asking questions to stimulate discussion for different purposes.
i. e.g., monitoring students’ skill development
ii. using effective questioning strategies to stimulate critical thinking, problem-solving, and reasoning
iii. asking questions to stimulate discussion for different purposes
iv. How effective were the strategies used with ESOL/LEP or students with other special needs? How effective were the strategies used with students of different ability levels?
v. Were strategies modified to accommodate individual students’ learning? If so, in what ways were the strategies modified?
Overall Analysis and Position (share information about each objective on each Video – Total of 2)
• provided in-depth reflective analysis and concluding thoughts on their position based on their observations and how classroom practice reflects theory in the teaching of mathematics.
