Name: ______________________________________________________Date: ______________End of Unit Reflection<strong>Teacher</strong>s (including pre-service teachers) need to reflect on their practice on a routinebasis.This last session of Unit 1 Numbers and Operations is designed to help youexperience that type of reflection.During Unit 1 you worked with many content areas:• Addition and Subtraction of Whole Numbers• Multiplication and Division of Whole Numbers• Fractions, Decimals, Percents• Operations with Fractions and Decimals• Proportion, Ratios, Rates• Integers and Operations with IntegersAt the same time you were also engaging in deep mathematical thinking. As youreflect on each of the four processes below, recall something specific that you foundimportant because of this class:• Modelling and multiple representations• Mathematical communication• Problem solving• Connections1. Modelling and multiple representations (a new way to think about a familiartopic)2. Mathematical communication (something heard in class discussions orobserved in student work samples)3. Problem solving (an activity in class where you were unsure of how tobegin—but figured out how to find a solution)4. Connections (a surprising connection either to real life situations or to otherareas of mathematics: algebra, geometry, or information handling)Faculty notesUnit 2 AlgebraWeek 1: Patterns, Algebra as Generalized Arithmetic, Children's Algebraic ThinkingWeeklong Overview:Session 1: Patterns as fundamental to understanding algebra
