Implementation of the lesson went very smoothly, probably based a great deal on the fact that I was teaching 3rd grade math to college students. The one thing I had to change for sake of time and due to seating arrangement was how much involvement I planned for my students to have in the SMART Board activities. I was able to have them follow along on SMART Notebook on their computers, however, I feel this took away from the lesson. My plan was to follow the I do, We do, You do format, and I feel my We do section suffered because students were following along and helping me solve the problem rather than being able to also do it themselves. Basically, they weren't able to write anything down on the board or on paper which I think detracted from their understanding.
However, this little bump aside, I think the goals and objectives were maintained. I was able to have students demonstrate their knowledge of division and different strategies to solve those problems through the problems they solved on their own:
For individual students I made many small modifications such as allowing extra time. Overall, I tried to get as many learning styles in as possible (visual through the presentation, audio through presenting, kinesthetic through creating their own problems and working with the SMART board) to prevent needing as many modifications. It was also difficult to gauge modifications since this was a 3rd grade lesson being taught to college students. I believe it was logical enough to not need explanation, but I addressed any questions along the way.
