With the availability of our 5th grade Android tablets, students have more responsibility and flexibility in math class. Students decide when they are able to forego the lesson of the day and work in small groups on problem solving skills. Often, this involves students needing to utilize the internet to look up formulas or unfamiliar terms. Students can do this on their own as others receive direct instruction from the teacher. This opportunity for self-directed learning engages students in math and provides incentives for students to think about their learning and progress. In order to reduce our impact on the environment, students are also able to view problems on the Android tablets instead of using paper.
