Decimal Addition & Subtraction in Educreations

These 5th Grade students used educreations.com on the laptops last week to show how to solve order of operations problems. They enjoyed it so much that the classroom teacher and I decided to try to use the same resource for adding and subtracting decimals. By using Educreations, the teacher can see and hear the student’s thought process as they are solving these problems. If they are making a mistake, it’s much easier to identify where the error occurred and be able to address the issue before they make the mistake on a quiz or test. Today I noticed that several students went back to watch their recording and while watching themselves, they realized a mistake they had made and self-corrected.
