Kindergarten Number Comics

This past week, I've been focusing on technology integration at Forest Hill Elementary School.  One of my most memorable lessons was working on Number Comics with Honora Hannan's kindergarten class.  To extend their Engage New York math lesson on different ways to represent a number.  We had her class work in teams of two to three students to create a number comic.  The first part of the lesson was helping them find the app "Strip Design" which we affectionately nicknamed the "yellow pow!"
Students then chose a "titled" comic layout and typed their number and names.  They were then challenged to look around the classroom and find different ways to represent their number.  We also noticed that several groups needed extra support with taking a clear, close-up picture.  Honora then had all of the groups share their work with the class and they were all so proud to present!  Finally, we stapled the comics into a book for the class to enjoy.  I'm sure the kindergarteners will all remember the real-word connections they made to numbers that day!
