It was a good change in the lesson to have ample time for the students to work individually on the math assignment, rather than myself doing direct instruction. I found it also to be a good opportunity to observe and assess where the students were in their learning. I could focus my time on particular concepts with individual students that were struggling to understand.
I am starting to be more conscious of my body positioning and what is going on around me and the classroom when I am helping students individually. I am thankful for the helpful suggestions from my university consultant and classroom teachers, these little tips really help out with classroom management.
