What struck me
most about Dave Hewitt’s math classroom was how engaged students were in
activities. The teacher made a good use of a classroom to get students to understand
better and strengthen their visual/ spatial thinking. Also, I realized that I
would have to use wait time well during class time. Oftentimes, I found it hard
to wait in silence for students to answer questions in class. However, considering
the fact that students need time to think and organize their thoughts, I should
implement a longer wait time. In addition, by using a bracket to show multiplication
or a horizontal line to show division, the teacher could also reduce confusion
that students might have made while solving math equations. Therefore, based on
what I have seen in the video, I will try to incorporate such teaching
strategies/ practices into the classroom in order to develop students’
mathematical/ logical thinking.
