Mills make-up 2/18/14

Where I am now...I feel that my question has evolved. It started off more as a procedural/behavioral type of question but it has now gone in the route of content and what types of questions I ask and which are successful.

My question was...


How can the use of a student response system during Math instruction allow me to elicit participation from all my students in an organized way, that allows all students to successfully share their answers and feel validated.

It's now...
 

What types of questions are easier for my students to understand during math instruction? (Patterns of their responses and see if there is a certain type of question that they are able to answer better)

My focal students and their indicators or success are...



Focal Students                      Indicators of success
Girl       YSP       1/1             paying attention, participating, thinking about question
Girl       AGS       2/19            talking less with other girls, thinking about question    
Boy      ERR      3/12           keeping answer to himself and not blurt
Boy      LCO      6/30           giving others the time to think and process
Boy      JDC        9/16 TK       pay attention, thinking about the question
Girl      ESP      10/27 TK     keep answer to herself and think

One important thing for me to do is to take notes of what I noticed or what was said as it happens. I often times forget what stumped students or what realizations we came to when discussing the problems. I could put these responses at the bottom of my data collection sheet
