Magnetism

QRReader - Magnetic/Non-Magnetic

After learning about magnetism, the kids were given an assessment using the iTouch/iPads. Pictures of different objects were numbered and posted around the room with a QR code attached. The students searched around the room with a recording sheet where they recorded their answers prior to scanning the QR codes. They were to record whether or not the object in the picture was magnetic or not. They also had to give an explanation to justify their answer.

Problem Solving

QRReader - Problem Solving

Rather than only using pencil and paper, we have been incorporating our iTouches into our daily problem solving.

The kids solve the read and solve the problems with whichever manipulatives they need, and then they check their work with the iTouch. The kids have really enjoyed getting to use the iTouches on a daily basis.

If a student's answer is incorrect, they then go back and work through it again to find their mistake.
