Math and the Number Frames App


Students are using the Number Frames App to help solidify their understanding of number and their understanding of the 10 frame as a mathematical tool.  

In kindergarten, the students were working on the rug with their iPads while the teacher was modeling on the whiteboard. The teacher had a 10 frame on the board and filled it in. Students were to copy what the teacher did, using their Number Frames app. Then, students were to write the number that matched the 10 frame model. There was plenty of adult support in the classroom to make sure students filled in their 10 frame correctly. It was also a great opportunity to model and practice correct number writing in an authentic way.

After students participated in this guided practice lesson, they had the opportunity to practice building 10 frame numbers at their level of understanding. Students could also be given the opportunity to work with 10 frames independently during math centers.

If you would like more information about using this app in your classroom, complete a PLS and Becky will be happy to plan with you.

Writing to Learn - from Edutopia

Edutopia published a wonderful blog post: Low-Stakes Writing: Writing to Learn, Not Learning to Write This blog post gives practical ideas for incorporating writing across the day at any grade level and in any content area. The goal for writing is to get kids writing as much as possible - so much, that it is near impossible to keep up with them!  The more they write and publish to an authentic audience, the more authentic feedback they can receive. All of the ideas in the blog post align to and can be combined with our district's writing supplemental resource: The Common Core Writing Book (K-5) The Common Core Writing Book (6-8) If you do not have a copy of the book for your grade level, please contact the Teaching, Learning and Innovation Department to get a copy. Want to start implementing, but not sure where to start?  Check with your building's instructional coach!  Your instructional coach is there to assist you and provide support as you look to incoropor...

Using the DOODLE BUDDY APP in Math

Some classes are creating subtraction number stories using the Doodle Buddy App! Students use the stamps in Doodle Buddy to create the picture of their story and then use the pen in the app to cross out stamps and write their number sentence. Students can then take a screen shot and put it in their google drive to share with their teacher. Take it one step further! Have students put their Doodle Buddy picture in Explain Everything, Educreations, Tell About This or Write About This so that they can record their explanation of their number story. Now teachers have evidence of the student’s thinking and can plan for the next step in moving that student along in their understanding of mathematical concepts! Works great for addition number stories, too! Model creating number stories with whole class Students work independently or collaboratively to create number stories Students take screen shot to save their work
