Using the environment to teach Math - 3rd grade

ISTE Standard: 4C Collect and analyze data to solve and make decisions.

Question: what types of trash are found most often on our school grounds?

1- take walk on school grounds, collecting/ taking photos of items: for example, plastic, glass, paper.

2- in small groups, classify and sort items

3- discuss in groups, and choose the best way to display the information ( ie, pictograph, bar graph, etc. )

4- in Excell, students create a table to display their data. OR draw their display, and use photo or document camera to share groups results, and discuss variations, etc.

ISTE - what is my propriety ISTE standard

Teacher -1b - Engage students in exploring real-world issues and solving authentic problems using digital tools and resources

Student-1b- create original works as a means of personal or group expression

Ccss- what CSS can I match with it

Understand p + q as the number located a distance |q| from p, in the positive or negative direction depending on whether q is positive or negative. Show that a number and its opposite have a sum of 0 (are additive inverses). Interpret sums of rational numbers by describing real-world contexts. (CCSS 7.NS.1b)

Tool- what devices and digital tools do I have

tablet (PowerPoint, tellagam)

number line simulation - videos, lensoo

Use- how will I use the tool and educational best practice to create PBL scenarios for student

teacher will use number line simulation to explain adding rational numbers

students will research for other examples and explain its interpretation using a number line.  Student may create a PowerPoint or tellegami to explain their reasoning but a number line must included with illustration. Students would be allows to use other technological presentation forms if desired.

ISTE Standard:  4: Students use critical thinking skills to plan and conduct research, manage projects, solve problems, and make informed decisions using appropriate digital tools and resources.

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.WHST.9-10.7

Conduct short as well as more sustained research projects to answer a question (including a self-generated question) or solve a problem; narrow or broaden the inquiry when appropriate; synthesize multiple sources on the subject, demonstrating understanding of the subject under investigation.

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.WHST.9-10.4

Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization, and style are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience.

DEVICES:  Digital cameras, desktop computers, Adobe software, Solvent Printer

PROJECT/TASK:  Students will research and analyze school level data to develop and produce a promotional poster for AP studies.  The students must follow specific guidelines and adhere to the expectations of the client.

ISTE - Students use critical thinking, problem solving,and decision making.

State - Develop a system for keeping and using financial records.

Device - laptop; spreadsheet program; Internet

Process - Students will create a budget using a spreadsheet while using the internet to research costs and possible percentages of spending for various categories based on the starting salary of the job they hope to obtain after graduation.

ISTE Standard - Promote student reflection using collaborative tools to reveal and clarify students conceptual understanding and thinking, planning and creative process

CCSS - Geography - 5 Regions of the US

Device - laptop/tablet with Skype capabilities and individual laptop/tablets

Process - Students will MysterySkype with a classroom somewhere within the United States. They will identify where the classroom is using geographical questioning. Upon completion of the task, students will blog a personal reflection (things that went well, areas of improvement, etc.)
