Problem-Based Lesson Implementation & Analysis

Included above is the complete lesson analysis. This lesson include the process of pre-planning, developing questions for class discussion, an analysis of the completed student work and a final reflection on the lesson. The reflection helped inform next steps for my instruction of the standards related to fractions. Below are examples of student work from this lesson.
