Graphing
KidsZone a free online website gives students the ability to input data and create graphs. Mrs. Burke's third graders have been collecting data from their classmates and presenting the data in a visual form. In the lab students used a graphing site to create a digital graph with their data.

Math is Everywhere!
Mrs. Jordan's students have worked on learning math vocabulary all year. They used educreations to share their knowledge.

Division Experts
Fourth graders have been working in Math in Focus exploring division with and without remainders.
Students used the app educreations to share their knowledge. Check out how these two experts from Mrs. Murphy's Class explain the process of division.

Fractions
Grade 4 students in Ms Scott's class have been exploring fractions in Math in Focus Chapter 6.
 |
| Students used their text books to explore adding fractions. |
 |
| Using bar models, students worked on subtracting unlike fractions. |
Students worked in small groups to share their knowledge of adding and subtracting unlike fractions using the app, educreations. Click on the links below to learn more about adding and subtracting fractions.

Common Core Standards~ Grade 4
Number & Operations—Fractions 1
Extend understanding of fraction equivalence and ordering.
1. Explain why a fraction a/b is equivalent to a fraction (n × a)/(n × b) by using visual fraction models, with attention to how the number and size of the parts differ even though the two fractions themselves are the same size. Use this principle to recognize and generate equivalent fractions.Number & Operations—Fractions 1
Extend understanding of fraction equivalence and ordering.
2. Compare two fractions with different numerators and different denominators, e.g., by creating common denominators or numerators, or by comparing to a benchmark fraction such as 1/2. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two fractions refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual fraction model.

Math~Students As Teachers
What does math look like without paper and pencil?
The app educreations makes a perfect whiteboard for students to use as they work through their math problems and the Apple TV allows them to display their work on the smartboard as they explain their thinking.

Math Vocabulary
This week the Third Grade will be taking the Math MCAS and Mrs. Jordan's class decided to create a math glossary of terms to help them on the test. This was a collaborative project where each student had one math term to explain. The students first created their drawings in the app drawing pad and then they used the app educreations on the iPad to help screen capture this project. They did an excellent job using math vocabulary in their explanation. Good Luck to everyone this week on the MCAS.

On Line Math League
Early one morning I dropped in on the Online Math League Second Grade Group who had arrived before school for some math fun with Mrs. Sewall. When I suggested the iPads and math, smiles were everywhere. These students used the iPads to show their work in very creative ways. It was enjoyable listening to their discussions as to how they worked through the problems. I always learn a new way to solve a math problem when I work with students.
Try to solve a few of their problems:
1. Clare loves stuffed animals. She has 13 stuffed cats, 9 stuffed dogs, 18 stuffed teddy bears, and 11 other stuffed animals. How many stuffed animals does she have in all?
2. There are 22 students in Mrs. Turner's class. 13 of those students are girls. How many are boys?

Apple TV
An Apple For The Teacher...
An Apple TV that is!
No, it's not really a big TV. It's a little black box that connects my iPad and the students' iPads to the smartboard with an HDMI cable. I am in love. It does take a little getting use to because now you don't need to be standing at the front of the room. At first, I found myself still wanting to walk to the front to write on the smartboard but I quickly adjusted my teaching. Your iPad goes with you around the room and your work is still on display. It was an inspiring moment. Students were still working while I could interact with anyone in the class at a moment's notice. I could adjust the work as I checked in with students. Some students got an extra hint while others got an extra problem. This allows students to work at their own levels simultaneously.
This week Third and Fifth Graders worked on math in the library where I connected my new Apple TV. The Third Graders have been working on Bar Modeling to show subtraction problems.
They worked in their Math in Focus workbooks and also showed their knowledge on the iPad. The fun part was the sharing. With Apple TV, students have the ability to display their work and share their thinking.

The Fifth Graders were working on adding and subtracting Fractions. They worked the problem on their individual iPads and then they became the teacher when they shared their work. It was exciting watching the students get excited about turning their iPads on to mirror their work and become the teachers.
**Tech Tip: Connect the Apple TV with an HDMI cable to the projector. For an older projector you will need an adapter.
For the new smartboards change to HDMI. (this is the button next to the sound)
Make sure all the iPads are on the same wireless network.
Double tap the Home Button on the iPad.
Slide the bottom dock until you see the AirPlay button.
Select Apple TV and turn mirroring on.
Presto! Your iPad is on display.
Be sure to tell the students that they need to wait to be asked to share.

Prime, Composite, and Square Numbers
What happens when you give a group of fourth graders the challenge of teaching others about prime, composite, and square numbers? Of course they create an educreations presentation!
The students in Ms Scott's class have been studying Factors in Chapter 2 in our new math program, Math in Focus. They all did a remarkable job explaining these 3 types of numbers.
