Using technology to enhance math thinking

Today, our first grade mathematicians had the opprtunity to use our iPads to further deepen their understanding of numbers as we were composing and decomposing numbers. The students worked together to solve number sentences (such as 14+11=?) using various mathematical strategies. Students were encouraged to use a variety of strategies. While the students worked together to show the components of each number sentence, they also used unif cubes toi visually show their understanding. They did an amazing job. Ask your child to explain how the app "Touch Math" allowed us to show the components of each number sentence.
