Microteaching

So today I had a microteaching lesson in class, where I taught a 15-20 minute lesson. This lesson used knowledge of solving systems of linear equations using the substitution method and using that knowledge to understand word problems. I started the class with a warm-up, solving given systems with two variables, and then did an example with a word problem, explaining how to create equations based on given information. The students worked on a worksheet in pairs, then individually. Overall, I feel like the lesson went very well and I was able to see where students were struggling and what concepts they grasped. It was great to finally get that hands-on teaching experience, even if it was just a few of my classmates.
