Tyler Fedisin ELEC 316

  In these last two weeks of class I have learned a lot of material including concepts of measurment, how to read mean, median, mode and range. This was a good recap of these materials because I have learned them in the past but haven't gone over or studied them since. In elementary school I had several ways of learning these by videos and songs. I thinkthis would be helpful for my students if I would include videos or finding a song to help them remember how to do these math tasks. We also went over population, sampling and norming which I was not too familiar with. Populatation is when an entire group of people performance is estimated by the instrument instructed. Norming is refered to as a process of constructing norms or also know as the typical performance of a group of individuals. Finally sampling is a group of people who are actually included in the certain test or study. I definietly feel more comfortable with these areas after going over them for the first time or just a...

 In our class time in week 6, we learned about record keeping and other observational strategies to help with our assessments. We begin with watching multiple videos that showed us students proving their mathematical thinking through questions, charts, and discourse. Video tow showed us a way of guided math in the classroom from start to finish. Later we began taking notes on anecdotal record. Anecdotal records are brief notes teachers take as they observe children. These notes document ranges of behaviors such as " literacy, mathematics, social studies, science, the arts, social and emotional development, and physical development."  Later in the class we reviewed Lauren's assessments. Her second grade exit ticket based off math number sense and fractions of a set, showed us an in depth way of having a proper exit ticket for the given grade level classroom. Finally at the end of class on Friday, we compared with classmates our math lessons from our ELEC 340 class. We went...
