Description of how to implement in the class:
The teacher will need a white board, markers, and pictures. The students will need their Ipads. The
teacher will lead the whole group in discussion. She will start by introducing the lesson, by asking
students to count from 0 to 20. She will then ask if they can count objects? She will then model had
to count objects and then write the number. She will then have the students do it with her, and
then have the students individually answer questions. As she asks students, she will be assessing
their knowledge via checklist. The teacher will then show the students how to use the software.
The teacher will begin to use the app showing the students, but having them answer. Then she will
break the students into peers. She will have the students work together to use Dimension U. The
teacher will pair strong students with students who are still working on counting to help them. The
teacher will also walk around the classroom to assist students. The teacher will then have the
students do a worksheet on counting to assess their knowledge.
