Math Apps

In class, we often use manipulatives to help students solve math problems. Visual aids help students to understand big ideas and concepts in mathematics.

Here is a list of math apps (some are manipulatives). Some of these apps are free, others are paid. I have not previewed many of these apps as I use physical manipulatives in my classroom. However, I still wished to share the list with you.

An Overview: April

Our Gr.3's have been working hard! Language:  We are finally all finished up with narrative writing! Students have been working hard on procedural writing. Topics have included "How to Make a Snowman", "How to Make S'Mores", "How to Brush Your Teeth" and "How to Get Ready for School". This week, we will be taking a more hands on approach to writing! First, we will read a procedural text on how to make slime and then as a large group we will follow the instructions and step by step make the slime together. After making the slime, students will independently write their final procedural text on "How to Make Slime", with their goal of teaching their audience how to make slime with specific steps and details. Math:  We are wrapping up geometry this week. The past couple weeks we have been exploring symmetry, classifying 2-D and 3-D shapes and transformations of shapes (rotation, translation and reflection). This week we will b

Science Experiments: Forces!!

Image
In collaboration with Mrs. Sloan's Gr.3 class, our gr.3's circulated through a variety of Science experiments. Each center involved a hands on experiment that focused on the different forces we encounter in everyday life. Take a look... Students had to use a variety of materials to create a boat and see how many dice their boat could hold before it sank. At another center, students were given a marble and a variety of materials. The challenge was to find a way to slow down a marble that they drop. Students were very creative! Students were also given a shoe box and a balloon, along with a variety of materials and had to see how far they could make their shoebox go.
