Goal 1: Reflection
This semester I have done multiple assignments that show I have developed an understanding of mathematical concepts covered in elementary school. The assignment attached is one example that shows I have satisfied this course goal.
The Multi digit multiplication lesson plan I wrote is for fourth grade curriculum. It gives students a different way of looking at multiplying two or three digit numbers by one digit numbers. This lesson shows students what place value means and what its purpose in multiplication is.
The lesson taught me a concept I did not know prior to creating this lesson. I have always used the standard method for multiplying and never understood why other methods were taught. This method, I believe should be taught to every student when they are first learning multi digit multiplication. The reason for this is because it provides meaning behind the concept, so that student's understand the purpose of multiplication.
Overall, this assignment proves that I have met the first course goal. I clearly understand the purpose of multiplication as a mathematical topic in elementary school curriculum. By creating this lesson I also understand that it is important to apply concepts to students, many different ways, because not every student learns the same way.
