Looking back on the 5E lesson, I feel that we did a good job of presenting the material and getting all the students involved in the board game. However, I realized that we didn’t explain some key math terms and symbols in enough detail. Words like “add,” “subtract,” “more,” and “less” are important, and we could have spent more time discussing their meanings and how they relate to math problems. I also think this activity might have been better for slightly older students, like those in 1st or 2nd grade, as they might be more familiar with these terms. Despite this, the students participated with a lot of energy, and it was fun to see how excited they were during the activity. My partner and I really enjoyed leading the game and seeing the kids have so much fun. The space explorer theme worked really well to keep the students engaged. They seemed to love the idea of earning and counting their "space gems." The hands-on part of the activity, where they rolled dice and used tokens, also kept them interested and motivated. It was great to see the students reacting excitedly as they watched their total number of gems change with each roll. We also made sure to use visuals and bilingual support in the learning centers, which really helped our ELL students. By the end of the lesson, they felt more confident using the math vocabulary. I also noticed that our SPED students did well with the extra modeling and one-on-one support. It helped them understand when to add or subtract gems. One area that could have been improved was how we introduced the vocabulary at the beginning. Although terms like “add” and “subtract” are commonly used, the students would have benefited from more practice and explanation of these terms. A quick review of math symbols like the plus and minus signs might have made it easier for students to understand the problems. Additionally, while most of the students enjoyed the lesson, a few struggled with the pace, especially during the one-minute challenge at the end. For future lessons, I think it would be helpful to give the students more time or to offer different levels of difficulty so that everyone can keep up.Overall, I’m happy with how the lesson went. The activity kept the students engaged, and both my partner and I enjoyed leading it. It was great to see so much positive interaction and excitement from the students. Moving forward, we plan to use what we learned from this lesson to make small changes that will help students understand the math concepts more easily while still having fun.
