Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?

1. Launch iCardSort app 2. Tap Decks & Select “Math

Vocabulary” (deck will need to be loaded on each iPad via Beam or Blast from the host device that was used to create the activity. All devices will need to be on the same Wifi network.)

3. Tap Order to make deck appear to match jeopardy grid on next page.

4. Make deck large enough (by pinching out) to fit completely as a 5 x 3 grid – (iPad will need to be in Portrait… held vertically)

5. Tap on Shuffle Cards before you begin.

6. Match the definitions with the correct term from the iCardSort activity. (Move cards by tapping &

dragging to a different location).7. When you completely match each term to its correct definition,

begin tackling the tasks & questions on the next page. (Terms can be recorded in accompanying spreadsheet or in table on the next page: directions 8 or 9)

8. Spreadsheet Directions: Open the accompanying spreadsheet. You will use it to record your answers and add another column and/or row. You will record answers in the cell to the left of the corresponding row. Answers should be written in order from left to right separated by commas (e.g. Row 1 would begin with “pi”).

9. Table Directions: Write in the term from the iCardSort activity that corresponds to the definition in the table below.

10. When you completely match each term to its correct definition, begin tackling the tasks & questions below:

a. Give each category a title (using the spreadsheet or accompanying table) based on what each of the definitions/words have in common for each column. This will be the parent category.

b. What other definitions and words could be added to column five? What word could be removed from column 3 to make the group more unified? What word would you add in its place?

c. When you complete your iCardSort activity, give each category a title (above on the grid) based on what each of the definitions/words have in common for each column. This will be the parent category.

d. What other definitions and words could be added to column five?11. See Lesson Handout (PDF) for extension ideas.
