Oct 18 - Micro-teaching reflection










If I were to teach this lesson again, I would still do a no-bake recipe and focus on teaching functions of ingredients and how one can alter the recipe or customize it to their own preference, but I would change the way we prepared the energy bites. We didn't have enough time to roll the bites into balls and it was difficult to do so without chilling them first, so I would maybe find an alternate recipe that didn't require chilling or I would tell students future steps, without having to actually perform them in class. Since the main point of the lesson was to learn about how recipes work, the types of ingredients and how alterations might work, the chilling and eating part could be adapted any way necessary to shorten the activity without hindering the lesson.

Entrance Slip (Oct 30) - Maththatmatters

I think mathematics can be connected with social and environmental justice. Numbers are part of every day life and no matter what context we consider, math always finds a way of becoming present. However, I feel this can easily become a game designed to find as many different things to calculate as possible. Essentially any problem can be made into a math problem if you try hard enough. This somewhat reminded me of a picture book I read as a child, Math Curse. The book follows a student who is cursed by having everything in their life turn into a math problem, whether its counting slices of bread for breakfast or catching the school bus on time. I think math exists in politics, environmental justice and social justice because of this fact, numbers are everywhere. However, just because we can calculate our way through social justice, doesn't mean we will fight injustices using math. I think it is definitely a good way of building awareness and connecting mathematics to something stu...
