Groups of Objects on the iPads

We have been working on the Common Core State Standard 1.NBT.A.1 - Count to 120, starting at any number less than 120.  In this range, read and write numerals and represent a number of objects with a written numeral.  I decided to have the students create and count their own groups of objects between 1-120 on the iPads.  I let the students pick different manipulatives to use for this project such as blocks, links, counters, buttons, etc from my math manipulatives in the classroom.  The students counted out four different groups of objects and took a photo of their groups with the iPad camera.  Some of my students chose to use the Popplet app and some of them choose to use the Pic Collage app to showcase their different groups.  Here are some of their finished products.

  1. This is all so clever. Tell me, are the children making these photo collages? Are you making them? What do you use? Do you print them off? How do the kids share their pictures?
    My principal took the cameras off my devices. I'm gathering reasons I need them put back on.
    Thanks

    1. Yes, these were made by my students. We share our work through the reflector app, on our blogs, and through the Showbie app. We use the cameras a lot to create on the iPads.

  2. I was going to say that this was a clever idea, but someone beat me to it. I love how you used the iPad pictures. Great idea!
