Primary students at Shaw Elementary
are using Tux Paint to practice math concepts
Mr. Chavarria gives concrete instruction
in creating sets of ten in various ways
Students are fully engaged as they
see colorful digital manipulatives
Students take turns coming up to the board
to create their own unique sets of ten
Concepts being taught support ADE standards for:
Number Sense (PO 1, 3, 6)
Concepts being taught support ADE standards for:
Numerical Operations (PO 1, 3, 5, 6)
Students have the program on their computers
so they can practice making sets of ten on their own.
Students are proud to show their work
to Mr. Chavarria when he comes around.
Students understand that computer time
is for learning how to use the computer as a tool.
Although everyone is making ten sets of ten,
students see that 100 can be made in many ways.
Some students take their time to create
unique sets of 10 by changing colors for each object.
Students learn that if they make their stamps too big,
they will not be able to fit 100 stamps on the screen.
Some students are very meticulous in
lining up their groups of ten stamps.
