Using Technology (with Purpose) to Support Math Thinking
In our Math Classroom we use apps/sites as tools, as practice, and to capture student thinking.
Students learn various apps, then choose which app/tool best suits them and the problem they are trying to solve, or which is best to share their thinking/strategies.
Apps as tools, as practice, and to Capture student thinking:
We can think of the apps as a tool, those to help practice our skills, and those to help us share our thinking or strategies.
Online Games and Apps
Online games and apps are visual and active in ways that appeal to children. Feedback in the form of sounds, verbal messaging and/or visual cues is used to support children’s efforts, and to motivate them to try again.
