Lesson+2+Assessment

- **Were the children engaged in the lesson/tasks?**

For this lesson, we purposely decided to implement more engaging and interactive activities as we noticed that the students began to get disengaged nearing the end of the lesson in the previous week. Our engaging activities included: As the tasks were very interactive and hands-on, the students were required to participate continuously throughout the lesson. As a result, students mentioned in their end of lesson reflections that they had fun learning because of the activities ( Annotate with samples of students' reflection ).

 * Activity 2 - making their own rectangular prism boxes using grid paper ( Attach photo of students making their prism boxes ) [[image:IMG_3682.jpg width="240" height="313"]]
 * Activity 3 – learning about displacement by putting fruits in a jug of water and seeing how much the water raises by

From our observation of student's abilities in the previous week's lesson, we concluded that there was a distinct variance of students' abilities. Variance in students’ abilities was evident from the students' participation in answering and contributing to activities and discussions. The 'Test Your Understanding' worksheet that we gave the students to complete last week helped significantly to our awareness in what the students have learnt and what should be newly taught or revised in this lesson ( Annotate with samples of students' reflection ). Thus, we were able to create a lesson that specifically catered according to the students’ abilities.
 * - Did the tasks cater for the student's abilities? How do you know? **

Students generally demonstrated sound understanding of the learning content we presented. There were times where it was evident that students with lower abilities did not understand certain concepts as our 'Test Your Understanding' worksheets reveal variance in students' understandings through the reflection that asks students to write what they have learnt form the lesson. ( Attach comparison of Gracie and Loren’s reflection ).
 * - Were the indicators/goals/outcomes achieved? How do you know? **

By now knowing that the students are further engaged to learn through interactive activities, our group will continue to plan lessons with engaging resources that will make our activities exciting and inviting for students to participate in.
 * - How can you use this information to plan future lessons? **
