Day 42 - Remainder Theorem and Factor Theorem

Things went well in my first class. Mostly due to the fact that the Internet was working. During the second class when I had to get observed was not so good. The Internet went down so my video lectures were not able to be watched by the students. I had to think quick in order to figure out how to deal with the situation. I had students watch the videos on my iPad. The only issue is that the videos were unedited and contained all of my mistakes. It was almost like a blooper reel. It ended up all right in the end.

I had backup plans that I could have used. They were the following:

  1. Students could have been given the videos by way of flash drive.
  2. Students could have been given the book to use. We have yet to have used the book all year.
  3. Students could have been lectured to by me.
All of those would have been viable options. The students were great of course. A lot of learning (and struggling) went on in the class and the students really stepped up to the plate. I was really proud of them.

Monday is my post-observation so I will see what my principal thought about everything.
