Explain Everything Word Problems

As part of their Engage NY Math, first graders at Forest Hill were busy learning about addition word problems.  To extend their new learning, we had the students write their own word problem and explain how to solve it.  In Siobhan Schubert's class, we had students write their word problem on paper and then use the iPad to take a picture of it.  Students then used the app Explain Everything to solve the problem and record their explanation.



In Tina Lee's class, we tried having the students type their word problem.  Most of them did very well, but it was a little more challenging.  It was a great day to practice trying something new and perseverance!
