Balanced Math Equations with Story Kit and QR Codes

In Math we have been working on "Balanced Math Equations" and understanding the true meaning of the "=" sign.  We brought in digital learning by doing 2 different activities relating to this concept.  The first activity involved having the students use the "StoryKit" app to create a "book" on Balanced Equations.( A big shout out to Mrs. Delia for teaching us this!)  The students learned how to create a title page and then had to create at least 2 other pages in which they had to write equations that were balanced and prove how they knew they were balanced.
 After doing this activity, the students were asked to take a true/false quiz that I created using QR codes.  The students scanned the QR codes using the QuickScan app.  They had an answer sheet to record on. An example of a question:  3 + 5 = 6 + 1 is a balanced equation.  The students then had to circle true or false on their answer sheet.
We had a great time using our devices to enhance our learning, and I am excited to create more lessons!
