Time: 45 min.
Goal: To teach my student a new and easier technique to solve a problem.
Reflection: My goal for this tutoring session was to introduce a new way of solving a math problem to my student. I hope this technique will make my student, Jasmine, know the answer to questions with the blink of an eye. I noticed that Jasmine was having trouble with shading in the fraction given. So, I told her the technique that I always used to use when I was her age. I drew an eight-piece pizza and asked her to color in the fraction I gave her. Such as:
“Shade in 5/8 of the pizza” She would then shade in 5/8 of the pizza with no problem!
The fraction that she was really stuck on was 3/8. But eventually, after practicing this technique more, she found the answer easily!
