3.+Elementary+Apps

App: Free Flash Card App Title: Math Jackpot (name was created to engage students) This flash card app would be a wonderful activity used in the elementary classroom. Recommend for ages 5-7 Expectations: School aged children would be able to use flashcard app in or outside of the classroom. Children would be responsible for practicing flash card with a partner or a group ranging from 3-5 children. During activity children can challenge themselves by choosing an operation and card set to practice. The operations range between addition, multiplication, subtraction and division. The level can be changed on the card set, along with numbers. Teacher would be responsible for monitoring the level each child will obtain. Children will be moved from one level to another determining independent progress. Follow up Activity: Children would be given a math sheet to take home to practice an area that maybe difficult in the classroom, this will be part of the homework for child and parent. The idea is for children to begin on level one and work their way up the number scale Example of Starting Level: See Below 1+1= 2 Moving up would be a mixture 1+2= 3 Lesson Plan continued: As students move up the number scale they will receive a gold coin hence the name (math jackpot). Although students will be split into groups they will be moved around to encourage learning among others. The class will work collectively to obtain an end of the month prize. See examples of prizes below: 1) 250 class coins ½ free day 2) 500 class coins pizza party 3) 1000 week w/ no HW
