I believe that changing the role of the teacher will not only improve this lesson, but all future ones as well. Becoming a facilitator will allow me to take on a more passive role, allowing students to become active members. They will be able to actively participate in the lessons as I guide them to construct meaning. The scaffolding will allow me to correct any errors allowing the children to solve math problems. It will help them develop higher thinking skills and aid students' understanding. Providing multiple practice opportunities will help students make connections to develop deeper understanding. Collaborative work will allow them to work with their peers to complete problems and develop necessary skills. Working in groups allows them to learn from each other. I believe that constructivism will help students develop a deeper understanding of fractions and mixed numbers by providing them with the skills and strategies they need to be able to construct
