Getting To Know Numbers
Getting to know numbers is the lesson I chose to review. It focuses on calendars, odd/even, and counting on/counting back. There were not many lessons to choose from for the primary grades. I like this lesson to teach calendars. I have been wanting to do calendars every month for the kids and I like the idea of using handhelds to reinforce how a calendar is set up, the abbreviations it uses, and then finding important dates. Birthdays are always a big deal to 2nd graders (to all kids) so I know the subject matter will be engaging. I am not so sure it teaches odd/even but it does offer practice and reinforcement of this concept. I couldn't get the PrizeWheel to come up (I couldnt find it) but that did sound fun to count up and to count back with numbers. Input and output are concepts I found needed to be explicitly taught to 2nd graders so this would be a good reinforcemnt activity. I will bring the lesson to class.

Great - just wanted you all to see that handhelds can be used for some interesting things. Again, it is probably a dated technology. But as things get smaller we need to be ready to adjust to new ideas and applications of technology!
