Explain Your Math in SeeSaw

First graders use many hands-on materials during math. In this introductory activity, first graders will practice using the Drawing tool on top of a photo they have taken and then record their voice to reflect on their learning.

It’s a great way for you, the teacher, to quickly see and hear from all of your students.
You can get a glimpse into their thinking and hear the steps they used in solving a problem.
After any math lesson you teach, share this activity with your students.
