Thought starters

  1. Note the many types of questions the teacher poses while on the playground and during the Sketchpad exploration. Ms. Johnson shares how this sometimes might feel "risky." Why?
  2. How can the activity be adjusted to address math concepts at any grade level?

What computer software is the class using to measure the geometric shapes overlay-ed on the pictures? I had my students measure, and I have pictures of the different play equipment, but I want my students to do what the above students are doing with the computer program. Please help!
