Introduction:
I recently had the chance to observe two energetic 4th-grade classrooms: one focused on Math and the other on Literacy. Both classes provided unique insights into how students engage with essential skills in these core subjects.
Class #1:
In the Math class, students were working on mastering multiplication and division, using visual aids and manipulatives like number lines and counters. The teacher guided them through various strategies, encouraging students to explain their thought process and helping them see connections between numbers and real-world applications.
Class #2:
The Literacy class focused on reading comprehension, where students read short passages and worked on identifying key details and themes. The teacher facilitated group discussions, prompting students to make inferences and connect the text to their own experiences, building both comprehension and critical thinking skills.
Biggest Takeaway:
Both classrooms used active learning strategies that encouraged students to engage with the material, ask questions, and discuss their thinking. Whether through math problem-solving or reading analysis, it was clear that creating opportunities for students to interact with content helps deepen their understanding and keeps them invested in their learning.
