Context: I planned, designed and taught three consecutive math lessons during my internship at Blue Ridge Elementary.  The lessons were taught in Martha Saffer's sixth grade class at BRES, and they dealt with elapsed time.

Impact:  As a teacher, I will plan creative and engaging math lessons for my students, building on prior knowledge and teaching in a methodical, sequential manner.  I will collaborate with veteran teachers, research ideas from the internet and written text and use feedback from my students to improve my lessons.

Alignment: I have met the following NCDPI standards:

Standard 15 -

• Indicator 1 because I included a variety of learning strategies throughout the three days of lessons, ensuring that members of many groups, particulary those who are generally underrepresented, were actively engaged in the learning process.  I gave the struggling students personal attention, I applied the concept to real-world situations, and I encouraged many of the students to take leadership roles.
