My district is trying to put together some great resources for teachers. At a recent meeting the 5th grade team looked at all the CCSS that have technology built in. From this we created a document that has possible suggestions and resources. Feel free to share and/or add your suggestions.
CCSS
Awesome Explanation
I LOVE math! I really do. To me it makes so much sense. So for years I have asked my students to explain how they arrived at a certain answer in math. I know, totally doing Common Core before my time. Anyway, I was impressed by the use of academic language and the ease in which this student was able to explain her reasoning. What was more impressive, is that she wrote down her explanation before verbalizing it.
Here is Brooke telling me why there are more zeros in the product of 500 x 8 than 400 x 8
And to add to the awesomeness that is Brooke, she is our class’ first Aurasma Aura! If you’re not familiar with Augmented Reality (AR) or Aurasma, check them out! We took a photo of her & then overlayed the video. So parents & staff can subscribe to our channel and view our Auras, which will soon be all over the school!
To subscribe:
- Download the Aurasma App on your smart phone
- On your mobile device go to: http://auras.ma/s/CuG9o
Pretty easy, and a great way to show off student work!
