This field experience assignment is due Monday, March 29.

During your field experience, you should teach math and observe math being taught as often as possible, but plan and teach at least two math lessons. Your field experience assignment is as follows:

(50 % each) Write essays about two of the mathematics lessons that you taught, including the following:

• (5 %) Either describe your lesson plans in detail or attach detailed lesson plans. Include the grade level.
• (20 %) Carefully analyze and discuss the strong and weak points in the children's mathematics learning. Which aspects of the lesson did or did not help the children learn the mathematical topic, and why do you think those aspects did or did not help the children learn? To what extent did your lesson promote conceptual understanding?
• (20 %) Focusing on the mathematics content, describe at least two significant ways that the mathematics learning opportunities in your lesson could be improved or extended. Your suggested improvements or extensions should focus on significant mathematics that is appropriate for the grade level. Describe your proposed problems, activities, or questions specifically and in detail.
• (5 %) Describe some of the mathematics that the children will learn between now and the middle of the next academic year that builds on or is closely related to the mathematics you taught. In other words, describe and discuss "where the math goes next" (you may combine this part with the previous part).
