Take 2 – An iPod Challenge


My class recently completed a math activity using the iPod Application, Math Magic 24!  At the end of the activity, I pulled my students together to find out what they liked and disliked about the lesson and asked how to improve it.   It was suggested that I create a game board to help.  Again, students played on the practice mode and used a 1, 2, or 3 minute timer.   We eliminated keeping score and their challenge was to race their opponent to the top of a ladder. 



Students once again worked on problem solving skills, order of operation, and identified addition and multiplication properties.    Students were given dry-erase boards and calculators for practice and reinforcement.
