This was a very rewarding lesson. Literal equations is usually one of the more difficult topics, but because of my students comfort with the Framing routine they were open to attempting it. Since the format was familiar to them they were very engaged with the information and this led to confidence in their abilities.
The biggest challenge was trying to get my most quiet students involved with the construction. I feel very strongly that they are getting the material but would like them to be more involved with the whole class discussion. I think with some better guided questions I can get them to open up and participate more with the device.
I need to make sure to build in enough time to really dig into the extension activity. We ran close to the end of class and I did not allow them the chance to work with a partner as much as I would have liked. I believe we can move quicker through the Frame in order to allow for more time to work at the end.
I had very high scores on this test and I believe this to be a direct correlation to the use of the Frame.
