Math & Those 'Weird Looking Box Things'

In math we're finishing up our multiplication unit, and decided to use some technology with it!
In groups we created word problems that required multiplication in order to solve. On scrap paper we solved our own questions, and then took our answers to Mrs. Waters. She showed us how to create a QR code on a special website that would show our answer when you scanned it, and she printed it off for us. Next, we turned our word problem into a poster, decorated them, and glued our QR code onto our poster. 



Once our posters were finished, Mrs. Waters hung them up around the classroom, and put an iPad beside each one. We had to read the problem, solve it, and then use the QR code reader app to check if we got the correct answer. It was lots of fun!




We're So Happy!


We had so much fun making this video!
It makes us REALLY HAPPY!!

A Lesson in Multiplication!

Hello Parents! It's Mrs. Waters here with a lesson for you! We've been working a lot on multiplication in our class over the past few weeks, and I thought it might be helpful for you to actually see how we use various strategies in Room 23.  Check out the videos! If you have any questions, feel free to fire me an email! We thought using the Tellagami and Show Me apps would be helpful to teach you! Enjoy!
