Our third graders in Mr. Chelman's class created a scratch math game and invited Mrs. Roy's second grade class to try it out. This is a great example of how technology and curriculum blends together. In collaboration with their third grade counterparts, the second grade students had an opportunity to practice addition using the place value strategy.
What is scratch?
Scratch is a programming language and an online community where children can program and share interactive media such as stories, games, and animation with people from all over the world. As children create with Scratch, they learn to think creatively, work collaboratively, and reason systematically. Scratch is designed and maintained by the Lifelong Kindergarten group at the MIT Media Lab. Check it out - click on the links below.
