Summary and Synthesis

Recently, my group presented our LPU project over the Instructional Sequence of Measurement. In some ways it was harder than I expected, but in other ways it was easier. At certain points during the lesson, I knew exactly what questions I wanted to ask and it seemed to flow smoothly. Other times we felt more forced and awkward.

I'm always concerned about time (being able to fill an entire class period). Had you asked me at the beginning of the semester to plan a lesson that would last 75 minutes, I might've had a panic attack. However, the time seemed to fly by. We started with our first activity, and it seemed like 5 minutes later we needed to wrap up because the class period was over.

Both the time management and inquiry parts of the lesson I think can be further developed with experience. It's hard to plan questions and time limits for activities that you've never done before because you don't know what kind of problems, challenges, or questions will arise.
