Which activity engaged most students? Why do you think this happened?
-I think that the students Mosley engaged in the math lesson because they
enjoyed the activity and they didn’t feel bored because as they finish solving the
 equation they change the plastic cups with their friends and they challenge
their selves on solving difficult equations.
-I think that this happened because it shows that the first time they try this
activity and the teacher also got surprised when she saw the students are
engaged and excited ,she didn’t knew that they would like this activity so much
so she said that she will always give them the same as these activities.

Record and reflect on the safety components of at least 3 lessons taught whilst
on TP.:
What safety issues were taken into
consideration?
Were the students made aware of
them? How?
Did any safety issues arise in the lesson
that were not planned for?
Is there signage in the classroom
regarding safety?
The pictures of the object were ready
to use, since its very safe and not
hurtful.
The teacher was aware that the
students don’t make noise and not
getting jealous she chose one of
them.
Everything was very safe and well
chosen by the teacher depending on
the student's age.
There are no singing but the teacher
keep reminding the students orally
about the rules and make sure they
understand and follow directions
