Google Drawing

Today we worked on multiplication as comparison in math. After solving some word problems I asked students to write their own Halloween word problem and solve it. When they finished, they used Google Drawing to create an image that supported their problem. This was a nice extend activity that allowed students to use their creativity and shapes to create a Halloween themed image.

Creating Arrays Using Google Drawing

Last week we reviewed creating arrays and equal groups as a way to understand multiplication. Students were responsible for creating a visual to represent multiplication facts. Students used Google Drawing and their creativity to show their learning! It took less than 5 minutes to preview Google Drawing before I sent them off to work!

This lesson will be included in Alice Keeler's new book "Teaching Math with Google Apps"
