**If you are unfamiliar with this project, check out my first post introducing my pilot project with LearnPads and comparing them to iPads. In first grade we have been learning about attribute rules with 2-D shapes. We began our lesson exploring and reviewing different 2-D shapes. We practiced identifying the different attributes of each shape. After a quick review, we began working together to sort shapes based on an attribute rule (all red shapes, all squares, only triangles, etc.). This led to having shapes already sorted and working to identify the "mystery" attribute rule. This is where the LearnPad/iPad got integrated into the lesson. In an attempt to have my students apply their learning while creating and collaborating, we sorted shapes on our tablets. After sorting these shapes into two categories, students wrote "rule" above the side with their "mystery" rule. This final product was posted to their blog. After posting to the blog, students were able to leave comments with their guesses about the attribute rule being represented by the posted image. This was helping us work towards CCSS 1.G.A "Reason with shapes and their attributes." Below is a video that highlights how this activity was done in my class as well as how it can be done on both LearnPads and iPads. Below are some screenshots of a final product that was posted online. You can see the rest of the post by clicking here. Share This:
