Steven has given a pre-test to determine what skills his students are bringing to the lesson that he is teaching on adding mixed fractions. He planned lesson activities based on those pre-test results, but now he is in the middle of his lesson and is receiving blank stares and hands up in confusion from his students. What does this type of feedback indicate to Steven?
a. He needs to continue teaching to cover the material. They will have “light bulb” moments in no time.
b. He needs to stop the lesson progression, go back and answer some prelesson key concepts, and model those with hands-on materials or a video that explains the concept in another way.
c. He needs to stop the lesson and ask students to put their math books away and take out their science books. The lesson is clearly failing, and he can always reteach it tomorrow.
d. He needs to keep teaching to those students who appear to be “getting the material” and take all those with blank stares and questions and group them in the back of the room with a review worksheet.
b. He needs to stop the lesson progression, go back and answer some prelesson key concepts, and model those with hands-on materials or a video that explains the concept in another way.
