OVERALL COMMENTS AND REFLECTIONS:

Ms. Duntley separated the lesson into four different parts as bell work, two small activities, lecture and
solving sample problems. Bell work part was pretty good to wrap up the previous lesson and made
students ready for the new lesson. Both activities were really good to engage students into the lesson and
geogebra activity was good to visualize the concept for students. During lecture the teacher can improve
questioning strategies to get feedback from students about their understanding level. Overall I really like
the smoothness of the lesson and class environment.
