 * Pizza Fractions**
 * Open the [|More Pizza App]. Make a Pizza using a full size circle or square crust. Slice into 6 or 8 pieces when done. If you have email set up, choose to share the pizza when prompted. Name the pizza, enter an email address to send it to, and then write 3-5 fractions that accurately describe your pizza (example: 1/3 of my pizza has green peppers). Send the email to the instructor. ( tbruin@graniteschools.org ) Project and share the emailed pizzas.
 * Without email version: Make your pizza. Write your 3-5 fractions on a sheet of paper and leave your pizza on the screen to share. Participants will project their pizzas and describe their fractions to the class.
 * K-2 Version: Have students try to create pizzas that represent halves or other simple frations. Example: I would like a pizza that is half pepperoni and half sausage.


 * Journaling With Notes**
 * Open the Notes App: Write about a given topic and save the notes. Students can keep an ongoing journal if they are always assigned the same ipod touch.
 * Topic: **What's your favorite app so far and why?**
 * In K-2 the students can practice writing their name, their phone number, address, spelling words, etc. Their progress will show over time
 * Notes can also be used for other assignments and their responses/lists can be emailed to the teacher if the students have email accounts.
 * Cropped**
 * Open the [|Cropped] app and choose a mystery picture to display for students. Have them write their guess about what the picture is and what clues lend them to think they are correct. Use the notes app or pencil and paper to write their guess and response.

9:10 **Storykit and Doodle Buddy Apps** (60 min.)
 * Introduction of the [|Storykit] and [|Doodle Buddy] Apps and how to save pictures from the internet and bring them into Storykit.
 * Write, Illustrate and Share a Story using Storykit

10:10 **Google Earth Math Lesson Examples K-6** (60 min.)

Working in pairs: Open [|Google Earth] and type in the address to West Kearns Elementary. Make observations about the school and school yard to answer the questions below. Record your answers on paper to discuss later. Click on the Magnifying Glass "search" icon in the upper left corner of Google Earth. Type in the address for West Kearns Elementary: 4900 South 4620 West Kearns, Utah 84118. Tap to come in close enough to see some details of the school and school yard. Adjust your view as necessary by pinching with two fingers (moves out) and tapping (moves in).


 * 1) If you used cardinal directions for explaining where some things were located on the property of West Kearns Elementary, what directions would you give to explain where these three things are located?: A large tree by itself, a long row of smaller trees that completely line one side of the property, The parking lot that shows the most cars in it
 * 2) Move in close enough to view the cars parked on the NW side of the West Kearns property. Can you write a ratio that shows the number of cars seen parked to the total number of parking spaces?
 * 3) Name some of the shapes you see painted on the playground. On the East side of the playground there are some four squares and hopscotches painted there. What fraction of these painted play areas are hopscotches? Can you simplify that fraction?
 * 4) About what percentage of the whole West Kearns Elementary property appears to be grass?
 * 5) Which season and time of day was this satellite photo most likely taken? What clues do you have to help decide?
 * 6) What are some other questions that could be asked about this satellite image or even including the surrounding neighborhoods?

K-2 Google Lesson Variation: Look for various shapes. Count objects and create simple math problems from things you see.

11:10 **Speed Apping** (20 min.) Take 5-10 minutes to learn about the app(s) you are assigned. Think of ways your app could be used as a teacher productivity tool, a teaching resource or other. Be prepared to share what you have learned. The whole group will then sit with two rows facing each other. In 5 minute rotations, the pairs facing each other will demonstrate their apps and teach their partner about them. Then everyone will rotate clockwise and repeat the process until everyone has had a chance to see all the apps.
