This is my idea. I want to use the game below to solidify the class’s ability to add numbers efficiently.
http://resources.kaboose.com/games/math-popper.html
I will have a standing challenge for the class throughout the semester.The incentive for the class to get a Friday class party, They must be able to complete five levels flawlessly, with a different student on the smart board per level, A student may not try again until the whole class has gone. There will be a set order that the class will rotate through so all student get an equal opportunity to answer the questions. From the math curriculum, for grade 4, the outcomes are as follows:
GLO: Develop Number Sense
SLO:Demonstrate an understanding of addition of numbers with answers to
10 000 and their corresponding subtractions
CTS Outcome:
C6 – Students will use technology to investigate
and/or solve problems.
* 2.1 select and use technology to assist in problem solving
* 2.5 solve problems requiring the sorting, organizing, classifying and extending of data, using such tools as calculators, spreadsheets, databases or hypertext technology .
Rational: The combination of the web applications and SMART board technology makes this a fun, engaging and challenging activity that serves as both practice for the students and evaluation for the teacher.
Hey Jesse
ReplyDeleteGreat find. I like how you've incorporated math into a game, as that is how they should be learning it. My concern comes with the speed of the game. I couldn't keep up with the movement of the bubbles and wonder if that would be a similar problem with the students. Especially since it's timed and no one likes to fail.
With all that said I would definitely use this site to add excitement to a lesson.
Good find.
