Activity Overview
This App allows students to review how to perform algorithms for the four basic operations. The three modes - the step-by-step mode, fast mode, and the Missing Pieces game allows students to learn, review, and understand the concepts for each operation.
Before the Activity
See the attached PDF file for detailed instructions for this activity
During the Activity
Follow the Activity procedures:
Select an operation (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division)
Select the mode (step-by-step, fast math, or missing pieces)
Step-by-step mode emphasizes place value in the base-ten system for each algorithm
Each step of the operation is presented and the student enters values
Use the fast mode to review concepts
The Missing Pieces game tests understanding of the concepts in the operation selected
This timed game provides clues to the answer
After the Activity
Discuss difficult concepts
