I put my main focuses in this standard in bold. Mathematics 1st grade Standard 1. MP 4.:

Standard 1.MP.4
Model with mathematics. Identify the mathematical elements of a situation and create a mathematical model that shows the relationships among them. Identify important quantities in a contextual situation, use mathematical models to show the relationships of those quantities, analyze the relationships, and draw conclusions. Models may be verbal, contextual, visual, symbolic, or physical.
There were not specific objectives for this standard, but by the ISTE standard for this project, it drives the students to be Computational Thinkers. Student’s use data to identify step by step problems.

Ed-Tech Standard 2: Discuss common uses of technology in daily life and advantages and disadvantages those uses provide

Reflection: I created a google doc to make a Skittles Math Game that I thought would be very fun for my students. I am very familiar with Google Docs because I use it often to do school work and make lesson plans for my education classes. This activity is not only good for creating some good cognitive math skills, but it is colorful, and the student is rewarded in the end by being able to eat all of the Skittles that they used for the assignment! There is a lot that a person can do on this program to make it fun and it is very easy to use. Most assignments and templates are on a drop down menu when you start to use this page. The best thing about Google Doc for any user is that it saves AS you are typing so there is no worry about needing to Save after you type every paragraph.
