Explain Everything- Or Anything You Want!

Hi there! It's Sandy from 

When we get back from break, we're starting subtraction with... wait for it... REGROUPING when we get back!!! Eeeeeek! This is always a tough concept for my 2nd graders, especially in the beginning! 

Enter- Explain Everything!

It's a (paid) app on the iPad that allows you to explain everything- or anything you want. In this case, subtraction with regrouping!

Check it out:

 
I created this on my iPad. (I was even able to add some cute clip art from my Dropbox account!) (Plus I think there's so much more you can do with this app- I think you can animate stuff...but this was my first attempt at it!)...

I created it, exported it to YouTube, and I'm going to have my kiddos watch this on their iPads for their seat work station on Monday. I feel like watching this video will go over a little better than me trying to keep their attention whole group.

But you could even project a video like this onto the board or SMART board whole group (if you only have one iPad). 

There's also this app:

Educreations! It's very similar to Explain Everything (but it a bit more limited) and it's FREE!

Next step is to have the KIDS start creating these videos to show their thinking and learning!

Happy learning!  Pin It
