Math Story problems on the iPad



Story problems can be difficult for any math student, especially second graders-- who are still working on reading fluency.  Today we began our story problem unit.  Instead of just reading problem after problem and solving in the workbook, students took photos of each problem from their workbooks, cropped the photo to zoom in on the text, and imported the problems to Drawing Pad, where they used the digital stickers and markers to act as manipulatives and solve the problems. The kids loved it! They are enjoying story problems and can easily draw pictures to understand the words on their iPads!
