Explain
Everything
Do you want a quick way to assess if your
students are mastering the concept of counting correctly ten blocks to make a number? If so, try
the Explain Everything App. The first
graders had to write a 2-digit number in the box. Then they had to drag the correct number of
tens and ones blocks to the larger box.
The students then had to use the pointer to practice counting the base
ten blocks. Finally, the children were
able to record their voice, counting correctly to the 2 digit number. The students then did the same activity with
an addition problem with two 2 digit numbers with one being a multiple of
ten. A teacher can easily see who is not
able to switch the counting from tens to the ones. Following is an example of Owen demonstrating
his ability to explain how to count correctly the base ten blocks that
corresponds to the given number.
