Activity 3.5 - Group Activity: Theories into Practice: Teaching Segment Analysis


As I watch this video, I am disturbed.  I see a teacher relating an important concept…variables.  But I see it being performed inefficiently.   Yes the teacher is clear on what is to be learned.   The teacher also establishes what needs to be accomplished at the beginning of the lesson.  But the poor teacher is missing something.  Those poor students!   They have to move at the same rate!    It is quite obvious that some of those poor souls are not ready for this new concept of variable expressions.   And where are the machines?!  And the programming!?!    It is quite obvious that this mathematical matter could be taught much more easily and affectively!
