Reflection Prompt: What do you think went particularly well? How did this
strength impact your students learning?

-Incorporation of Desmos lesson and the technology to support students' sharing

responses.
-Working to draw students out and into a discussion about their own guesses and
predictions.

Reflection Prompt: If you could teach this lesson again, is there anything you
would do differently? How would this have impacted your students learning?

There were some issues with the pacing of the lesson. If I were to do this lesson
again, I would likely plan for two full days to make sure there was sufficient time to
discuss the student reasoning shared through the Desmos program.

Evidence: Where possible, provide one piece of

evidence that you believe demonstrates your

* Observations must collect and document evidence for at least the focus elements. Focus
elements are highlighted.
** Evidence included is indicative of performance relative to each element. It may include evidence
that demonstrates one or more of the dimensions (quality, consistency, scope) of an element are
being met or that performance is not yet at the expected threshold.
