Build Elementary Math Skills with Technology!
Use these examples of projects created by students to inspire technology integration in your elementary math program.
Creative use of technology can engage students, and help you integrate your iPads, PCs, or Chromebooks into the curriculum.
Explain mathematical thinking
Students use math to show a solution and record narration to explain their thinking.
Click the play button to listen to the student's explanation.
Virtual Manipulatives
Math manipulatives are classroom standards because they provide a tangible way to help students see and grasp the nature of numbers and procedures. Wixie helps you take math manipulatives into the virtual realm.
Using Virtual Manipulatives
Multiplication
Students demonstrate knowledge of arrays, find a real world example for needing multiplication, and explain.
Click the play button to see all the pages.
Writing Story Problems
Have students illustrate an addition or subtraction story and record an explaination of the problem. Collect the student projects into a class book and solve all the problems together.
Surreal Symmetry
Students use symmetry to develop their own surrealist work exploring good and bad.
Give students choice
Use this choice board to put students in charge of how they will practice counting.
Using Wixie in Elementary Math
New approaches to math improve fluency through the use of creative technology tools.
