They created 4 of their own multiplication stories and today they used objects around the room and created multiplication stories. For example, I had a group of boys who put all of my large dice on the number 5 and showed me that 6 dice with 5 of them showed 30 dots. Once the students wrote down their multiplication story and showed it to me, I took a picture of it with my digital camera. Tomorrow we are going to make a "multiplication movie" using Photo Story. My kids are so eager to do this and I've never seen students so excited to learn and show multiplication.
My students are so lucky to have the technology available to them that they do. I truly think that technology can enhance the way we learn and this lesson proved that.
