Observing and Labeling Leaves

Fifth Grade Orange had a great time looking for these leaves on our playground and analyzing them using "techie" tools.  Below you can see how the students used an iPad app called Skitch to label the 3 main types of leaves. Each are characterized by the number of main veins used to transport water and nutrients to leaf.

Problem Solving with iPads

For one of our projects, the students used an iPad app for Singapore Math Bar Models.

We wrote our own complex, multi-step word problems and then used the iPad app to create a visual representation of our bar models.

Here are some of our favorites!  Enjoy!
