Online learning certainly threw a curve ball for all teachers and students.  It sent teachers scrambling to create activities to do with students over a Google Meet or Zoom meeting.  When we went to online learning this time, we only had a few days to switch and have all our activities ready for the students.   I knew I needed a quick math activity that I could show my students over Google Meet and they could use their white boards or blank notebook to show me their answer.   I would present these math slides where the students are shown a picture with a certain amount of objects and then I give them 3 different numbers that could be the answer (with one of the numbers being the correct answer).  The students put their answer down and shows it to me in the camera.  Once I have seen all the students answers, I clicked on the Google Slide and a check mark appears by the correct number. My students’ loved them.  We continued the activities when in person learning was back the following mo

Online learning created many challenges for all teachers.  I teach grade Primary and for math, we use a lot of hands on materials such as counters and dice.  When my students had to move to online learning from home, it created a challenge regarding dice for some of the activities the kids would be doing.  I needed to come up with an idea that would allow the students to “roll” a die or dice for the various activities they would be doing online and that it had to be in the same spot as the activity.  I didn’t want my students to have to go to another site to “roll” a die or dice.   I created these videos that have virtual die or dice and I put the die and/or dice in random orders.  I made the videos around 5 minutes. Then I inserted the videos into the Google Slide activities.  Below is a video explaining how I used the videos with one of my online activity. The videos in this package: Single Die: Random roll #1-3 Random roll #1-4 Random roll #1-5 Random roll #1-6 Random roll #1-7 Rand
