Integrating literacy and math skills across subjects, using technology, and creating a rich learning environment enhance student engagement.
After reading, the teacher transitions to math by having students measure the growth of virtual plants using the app. They record data in a chart, calculate the average height of plants, and use fractions to compare growth rates over time. The teacher encourages students to discuss their findings in small groups, enhancing both literacy and math communication skills.
