Have each of the students
create a word problem that
uses addition or subtraction.
Have each student use
create a presentation to
demonstrate this problem
using tools such as
PowerPoint. Each
presentation should include
words, numbers, images
and voice. Have each
student record themselves
talking about what is
happening in the problem,
how they went about solving
it, and what the answer is.
This can then be shared
with other students in the
class so they can get
different examples on how
to solve math problems.
Also have the students
suggest different ways of
looking at the problem (i.e. if
they present an addition
problem, how can it be
rephrased to function as a
subtracting problem?).
Place the resulting problems
on a class website for
students to refer back to
later.

Reflection:
These are all very different examples of lessons that could be used within a first grade classroom. I just want to clarify that all these lessons would be placed on the classrooms website to allow for
collaboration and feedback. This would be in addition to some of the actual presentations that I would be set to occur. Some of these presentations would be more extensive than others but it allows
students an organized way to explain their thoughts and end results. Most of these examples were group based so integrating presentations and types of presentation tools to allow for collaboration and
more interaction between students.
