using base ten blocks on the iPad

The first grade Butterflies are developing their understanding of place value, as mathematicians.

Utilizing the Base Ten Blocks iPad app, by Ventura Educational Systems, the first graders cooperatively worked with an iPad math partner to represent quantities with base ten blocks and illustrate quantities with base ten block symbols (for example- a "square" to represent a flat of 100, a "line" to represent a stick of 10, and a "circle" to represent a unit of 1).
