==4th-6th Activity: Download the app called Math Tasks. In partners, work on finding the calculations for the tasks listed below. Measure the provided items using the rulers, then plug the numbers into the appropriate area of the app to help you find the correct answers. Be sure to write your answers including the unit of measurement (example: 124 inches squared).==
 * ==Open Math Tasks. Click on Geometric Shapes. With your partner, have one person open the Math Tasks app and the other open Doodle Buddy or similar app. Collaborate to solve the given math problems by working them out with Doodle Buddy or another similar app. Then check the accuracy of your calculations by plugging the numbers into the Math Tasks app. This app has formulas that will automatically do calculations for you. Record your answers in the Note app and email your final work to one of the instructors. hmeenen@graniteschools.org or cadunn@graniteschools.org==

3. Ruff will give you orders for food. Look through the camera on your iPod. Find the game piece that has the right number of food items on it. Tap the food items to send the order to Ruff.

=[|uen.org] What type of math apps will you need for your curriculum?=

= Take Time to Explore: (40 min.) = ==Look at the group of math apps for your grade level. Then choose three that you feel will be especially beneficial to your core. On a sheet of white paper, write down your three favorite math apps from the ones below and how they will help in your teaching. Circle the one that is a "Must Have". Crumple up your paper into a snowball. We'll then do a snowball toss, so that each participant has a chance to see your recommendations.==
