More Problems in Planning...Ugh!!

Common problems in planning math lessons may include:

  • teacher not anticipating how students will approach content provided
    • The teacher may assume that students will struggle or "fly through" a given lesson due to past experiences with other classes and that assumption may be completely wrong.
  • lack of planning 
    • The teacher is unprepared to present the lesson in an organized manner.
  • lack of knowledge
    • The teacher is unfamiliar with the content and therefore unsure of how to present it and certainly unclear on alternate approaches to teaching the concept.
  • loss of student interest
    • Without engaging lesson planning students may become off-task and problems will arise in classroom management.
