Summary:
The teacher employs several effective teaching strategies, including interactive questioning and collaborative learning. By asking students to identify numbers and encouraging them to respond, the teacher fosters engagement and critical thinking. The use of a game format also makes learning enjoyable and promotes active participation.
Classroom management strategies are evident as the teacher maintains a structured environment by guiding the flow of the game and ensuring that students take turns. The teacher also addresses any confusion promptly, such as when a number is missing, which helps maintain focus and clarity in the activity.

☻ Student talk time: 55%
Suggestions:
The teacher could incorporate more visual aids to support number recognition, enhancing understanding for visual learners.
Encouraging more peer-to-peer interaction could foster collaboration and deepen engagement among students.
Implementing a system for students to signal when they need help could improve responsiveness to student needs.
Reflection
After watching the video of part of my inquiry group’s focus, I can see that next time I will give the students fewer cards to work with to make the task more manageable. I will also provide visual number cards to further support their understanding. While we did use place value blocks this time, I think it would be more effective to first have students build the number they need before searching for the required cards. This change should help them focus on constructing and understanding the numbers before moving on to the next step.
