===Calculate Activity===
 +
====Activity Summary====
 +
The activity calculation is a calculator. The student can calculate using numbers and
 +
signs. In calculating it recognizes numbers, puts them in a distinctive way before and / or
 +
According to the mathematical signs to perform different types as
 +
add, subtract, multiply and divide.
 +
====Affordances of the activity====
 +
* The student can add, subtract, multiply or divide numbers or
 +
numbers.
 +
* Students can make all kinds of divisions (between numbers of
 +
fractions).
 +
* The student can add fractions with the same denominator.
 +
* Students can multiply decimal numbers by 10, 100, 1000.
 +
* Students can calculate the percentages.
 +
* Students can calculate problems in situations involving addition,
 +
subtraction, multiplication or division.
 +
* Students can share their findings with a classmate of the class through the XO.
 +
* The teacher will save time and be able to quickly appease conflict cognitive that may generate some results.
 +
====Degree of centrality of the activity====
 +
Calculate activity is very central to all mathematical tasks
 +
students from the class of the preparatory first year of primary school. Arrived in fourth
 +
grade, students will be able to ask operations to add,
 +
subtract, multiply and divide, to perform various calculations, or to solve
 +
problem situations in mathematics.
 +
 +
From the fourth year, the event will calculate the teacher to see if students
 +
know how to use mathematical tools and their correct answers.
 +
====Application pédagogique 1====
 +
''Level (s)'': 4th grade of primary
 +
 +
''Knowledge'': Addition of numbers from 0 to 10000
 +
 +
''Savoirfaire'':
 +
Calculate in situations problems, are numbers from 0 to
 +
9999.
 +
 +
''History'':
 +
 +
Suggested Activities: Reading and analysis of statements of problems involving
 +
additions. (eg Add the following numbers: 11 and 43, 13 and 67, 45 and 87).
 +
 +
After clicking the icon appearing Calculate the prospect of Home XO,
 +
the student recognizes the numbers and select using the mouse or keyboard. It raises
 +
its operation on the computer screen and tap the enter key to get display
 +
result.
 +
 +
Collaboration dyad:
 +
 +
After making its calculation, the dyad share his results with another dyad by
 +
Discuss the activity. Example:
 +
 +
Dyad 1, we find 11 + 43 = 54 and you?
 +
 +
Dyad 2: we find 43 + 11 = 54.
 +
 +
Dyad 1: It's funny we have the same result, but we have not put the operation
 +
in the same order.
 +
 +
Dyad 1: Yes, it's just because in addition, order numbers and figures is
 +
not significant, the result is always the same because the addition is commutative.
 +
 +
Through this exercise, the teacher can help students understand the concept of
 +
commutativity of addition for example.
 +
====Application pédagogique 2====
 +
''Level (s)'': 4th grade of primary
 +
 +
''Knowledge'': The soustration numbers from 0 to 10000; The multiplication by 2, 3, 4 and 9 ....
 +
numbers from 0 to 10000.
 +
 +
''Savoirfaire'':
 +
Calculate in problem situations, differences and products
 +
numbers ranging from 0 to 9999.
 +
 +
''History'':
 +
 +
Invention and analysis by students in problem situations involving
 +
subtract and multiply by 2.3 ... 9 numbers from 0 to 10000 Example: Mom gives
 +
Makaya to 100 francs for pocket money this week, he bought candy for
 +
75 francs. How it is there? Eg a box of eggs contains 6 eggs. How many has he
 +
7 eggs in cartons of 8 boxes each.
 +
 +
Students organized dyad perform subtraction through the calculator
 +
XO by putting the correct numbers and numbers with the mathematical sign. Then, in
 +
tapping the Enter key, they will get the result of their operation.
 +
 +
Collaboration dyad:
 +
 +
Dyad 1: To solve the problem, we pose the following subtraction: 100 - 75 =
 +
25. And you?
 +
 +
Dyad 2: To solve the problem, we found the operation: 75 - 100 = -25; We
 +
do not understand why the calculator we place the sign (-) before the number 7, then
 +
that we are in the subtraction of integers.
 +
 +
Dyad 1: Because you put your evil operation. In the subtraction
 +
natural, most are still before the minus sign (-), since the subtraction
 +
is not commutative.
 +
 +
Dyad collaboration allows students to share their results. Replies
 +
generate different cognitive and sociocognitive conflict, allowing the discussion with
 +
Close to formulate the issues of personalized learning to better
 +
ownership of knowledge. The use of the calculator through the XO, can check its
 +
own results.
 +
====Guide to use the Calculate====
 +
To access, place the cursor Calculate the icon (represented by the pictogram of a
 +
calculator).
 +
<image Home view>
 +
 +
Click Start to use the calculator. To perform operations that are
 +
in connection with the problem, use the buttons on the calculator on the screen or
 +
those keys to make the mathematical operation.
 +
 +
<image Calculator>
 +
The Enter key gives the answer once the transaction is asked. Equations and their
 +
history will appear in the white square on the left hand side of the screen.
