Loving QR Codes!!!

My first graders are now trained in using iPads! What a learning experience for them... and ME! We made it through and we are all super excited to use these incredible devices to take our learning to the highest level possible! I have wanted to try a QR code hunt for so long, and we took our first one this past week! My students LOVED going on an acorn hunt in search of codes to scan. Through the hunt they were able to practice the mental math skill of counting on to solve addition problems. The codes I created were differentiated by either black codes (sums to 10) or brown codes (sums to 20). Partners were given a certain color to begin with, and were allowed to try the other codes if finished early. Every student was incredibly engaged and had meaningful practice!

Here's a few shots of our hunt...



Why not give this a try in your class? You will love it... I promise!

 

Simply print out the acorns, post around the classroom, and scan codes!
