REFLECTIONS:

Differentiation - This lesson was not differentiated, but it lends itself nicely to differentiation by readiness. I taught this in two classes (Elbert Co. & Clarke Co.) and different groups emerged. Using the same arrays, you could alter the task to meet the child's readiness. The tasks:
- Identify the arrays given. Have a template for them to find arrays that fit in order to use the distributive property. (E.G. - A sheet of paper with a 9x7 array on which the student places the 9x5 and 9x2 puzzle pieces. S/he would still write the two number sentences on post-its.)
- Give the number sentences of the larger arrays they are to find: 9x7, 9x9, etc.
- Join 2 pieces to make a larger array (as it was done).
- Allow them to make any combination (2+ arrays) as long as they use the distributive property.
Strategy Use - I meant to emphasize when they would use this. They wouldn't break down 8x10 into 8x5 + 8x5 because 8x10 is already likely a fact they know. This would be to break down facts they are still learning. I think I should have made that more explicit.

Reflections:

Obviously I need to rewrite this so that the assembly of the angles is clearer; I also should have modeled the cutting of the angles to get large pieces that are easy to work with. I liked the suggestion to use transparencies for this lesson as well.
