Reflection


Reflection over  http://blog.mrmeyer.com/

The purpose of this web resource is to provide lesson plans, ideas, etc. to math teachers. The "3 Act Math" (tab on the side of the page) is an excel file including links to videos with questions attached to them to solve. The idea of "3 Act Math" is an engagement style of teaching that seems to generally begin with the use of pictures or videos. I probably will not be using this website because it’s purpose is mainly to support teachers teaching upper grade levels math concepts, and my main interest is teaching elementary mathematics.

There are different tabs on this website that I think are beneficial. I like the author’s articles about technology use in classrooms and using electronic devices instead of just using paper. I really thought the author’s writing was interesting. His style was fun to read and many of his entries were enlightening. Favorite Quote: “Mistakes are valuable. Student work is valuable."
