Essay / Reflecting on my journey to becoming a teacher
Brown is an experienced teacher and it shows. She is able to easily arouse the respect and interest of her students. I was really impressed during my observation during his math unit. The topic was perimeter and Ms. Brown asked all the students to individually define the perimeter in their math journals. She then asked the class to come up with a definition of perimeter. During the lesson, Ms. Brown used the projector to show and label the perimeter of an object, she then showed a PowerPoint presentation describing a real problem (she needed X number of seats, no more, no less, and they all wanted to sit together) and the students used counters to demonstrate the different ways tables could be arranged to seat that number of people. The correct answers were then drawn in their journal and the unique answers were displayed on the overhead projector. I wish there were more counters because I wanted to use my own imagination to help solve this problem.
