Summary of Activity 3: Final Reflection
Prospective teachers engage in a group discussion/debriefing of the project (which may include presentations of their lesson plans and/or problem posing activities), followed by an individual written reflection (to be completed in class as a quick write or out of class as a homework assignment).
Launch
The launch provides time for prospective teachers to reflect before the whole class discussion begins. Post a set of prompts and provide time for prospective teachers to reflect individually and then in pairs/small groups. Alternatively, conduct a gallery walk.
Explore
Facilitate a whole class discussion to help prospective teachers reflect on activities 1 and 2. An expanded list of possible questions for whole class discussion is available in the full lesson plan. Some questions might include: What was it like to think about the community in mathematical terms?
