School: Greenwood Elementary
Summary
Students will collaborate with partners and pick containers and then use mathematical reasoning to choose objects that will fill the container. They will then discuss and select a reasonable order of magnitude by providing three different quantities (one digit, two digit and three digit). They will be able to explain why they chose their numbers. Each pair will display their container, object and answer choices and a picture will be taken. These pictures will be uploaded onto VoiceThread. Part II of this lesson will be communicating with another first grade classroom online. Students from another class will post their answer choices for each picture. The group that generated the pictures will then review the answers posted on VoiceThread.
