Technology for Teaching ECE Maths


Content: Kindergarten Math Standard 1 : Objective 3
Model, describe, and illustrate meanings of addition and subtraction for whole numbers less than ten.

Pedagogy: For this activity, students will be able use manipulatives (virtual) to see the practical application of addition for whole numbers less than ten. Having the children exposed to both the manipulatives and the numerals on the computer screen with reinforce what they are doing. Because this activity is in the form of a game, this will motivate students to want to get the answer right so they can win the game.

Technology: We will use a game called Ten Frame in which the students move virtual checker pieces to represent numbers being added to create the sum. We got this game from the Illuminations: Resources for Teaching Math website (http://illuminations.nctm.org/ActivityDetail.aspx?ID=75).
