Phase 1: Professional Learning We can use iPod Touches to…
• Support students mastery of numeracy, facts, computation, geometry, and measurement tasks. (National Math Panel Report and Common Core State Standards)
• Target student needs. Provide fact practice. Help students connect their effort to progress. (National Math Panel and Response to Intervention Reports)
• Enhance our professional knowledge of math (and science) programs, pedagogy, research, resources, and movements.
