Reflective report #3
This PDF shares my experience in the seminar course. It describes what I observed in the school I visited and what things did I do while teaching math to a group of third graders.
Reflection:
Participating in the seminar course, where I had the opportunity to teach third grade math, was an incredibly valuable and eye-opening experience. It was my first real chance to apply what I’ve learned in a real classroom setting, and it helped me grow both professionally and personally. Through this experience, I learned how to plan and deliver math lessons that are clear and age-appropriate. I discovered the importance of using hands-on strategies and real-life examples to help students connect with the content and truly understand math concepts. I also learned how to assess student work fairly and effectively, giving feedback that supports their growth. Most importantly, I learned how to adapt in the moment, respond to student needs, and create a positive learning environment. This seminar helped confirm my passion for teaching.
