The past two weeks we've been focusing our problem solving with subtraction problems involving teen numbers. We've learned how to use a group of ten to take away nine from a teen number. Organizing our math thinking has helped us see more efficient ways to solve problems. Students below worked on an app called explain everything. After completing a problem and explaining their thinking to a peer, they record their voice explaining the steps they took to solve their math problem. Students learned to save their work and add on each day. We are becoming quite technical with our progress in using ipads for learning. I love checking back in to their work, and listening to how each of them solved a problem that day. This next step, explaining how they solved develops math language skill and such deeper understanding.
