Form Theory To Practice: Task 4

This document summarizes 10 classroom activities and the associated educational theories and levels of student engagement. For each activity, the theory is stated along with an observation of how engaged the students were. Some activities like building 3D shapes and using total physical response elicited high engagement, while book problems and writing on charts had lower engagement as students struggled with questions or worked in large groups. Hands-on methods grounded in constructivism and Bruner's use of models generally kept students engaged in learning decimal numbers and fractions.
