These 1st grade students have been working on subtraction problems. The teacher and I decided to use Pixie on the iPads to let students show how they would subtract. With the holidays just a few days away, the students used the holiday folder in Pixie to search for pictures. They practiced duplicating the picture until they had the number of the item that they wanted. Then they selected all and glued them down. Next they used the paint tool to write their subtraction sentence and crossed out the items that were being taken away. My favorite part was when they recorded their subtraction sentences as word problems. I also enjoyed how the students worked together. The teacher and I showed the first group how to create the product and from there the first group taught the second group and so on. Check out a few of their original works:
