Learning Math with Technology
When I was in school, I thought math was pretty boring and hard at times. We did not have any technology. We simply used paper, pencil and the chalkboard. My, how times have changed! In my classroom we use chrome books, interactive whiteboards, projectors and iPads to enhance our math education. These things add the elements of excitement, innovation, collaboration, critical thinking, game play and so much more to the education. It's like taking a vacation while learning! Here are some of my favorite resources to use to teach math:
Learning Coding with Scratch Jr. https://www.scratchjr.org/
Students can create coding sequences to answer questions or create their own stories. I like to use it when teaching geometry. Students create code sequences to form various shapes.
