Teeler's Tree Frogs Combine Technology to Become Problem Solvers

Mrs. Teeler's first grade students are using multiple types of technology to explore math problems and find multiple solutions to the problems.  Students used the document camera and projector in their classroom to share their various solutions with their classmates. This encouraged discussion of efficient, creative solutions.  Students were able to share their authentic work with their peers, encouraging deeper thinking about the problems.  Even mistakes become a wonderful learning opportunity as students expand on their thinking and correct themselves.  Mrs. Teeler used the Flip Cam to record parts of the discussion. The students are so excited about their math movie!  By recording it and sharing it, the students are realizing that their math work is important. We hope you enjoy watching these future mathematicians at work.
