OVERALL COMMENTS AND REFLECTIONS:

In my opinion, The students were learning math topics in classroom. The teacher were using lecturing
teaching method in class. He had started warm up and he had finished with exit ticket to class. He was
motivating students at the beginning of the class. It is very good for student managements. The students
know why they learn this topics in class and why they listen up to teachers strategy. The important
advantage of teacher can talk Spanish with students. Because , some students dont understand all
directions of teacher but the teacher was explaining to students with using Spanish words.

The teacher can use some technology and activity in class while he was teaching this topic to students.
He can find very fun activities about this topic for students.
