Directions: Fill in each part of the App Lesson with your own original ideas.

Please look at the

sample provided on the class website. Provide 3 to 4 apps/steps for students to complete along
with a creative title, helpful description, and relevant SC teaching standards.

 There must be one app per step.

 Android apps can be used as long as all included apps are from the same platform.
 Lessons must cohesively link together 3 to 4 apps going from one focus/step of the lesson
to another.
 Lessons may include direct instruction provided the lecture contents are explained.
 Lessons may utilize web browser apps like Chrome or Safari to access website-based
tools. Link to the website in the write-up and the web browser app in the App Store web
link area.
 The final step in lessons must have students create a learning artifact from a creation-
based app (presentation, video, etc.) or screenshot of progress from a skill-based app
that students would submit to the teacher for assessment.

Title: … The Order of Operations

Relevant SC Standards: …

6.EEI.1-Write and evaluate numerical expressions involving whole-number exponents

and positive rational number bases using the Order of Operations.

6.EEI.2-Extend the concepts of numerical expressions to algebraic expressions

involving positive rational numbers.

a. Translate between algebraic expressions and verbal phrases that include variables

b. Investigate and identify parts of algebraic expressions using mathematical

terminology, including term, coefficient, constant, and factor.

c. Evaluate real-world and algebraic expressions for specific values using the Order of
Operations. Grouping symbols should be limited to parentheses, braces, and brackets.
Exponents should be limited to whole numbers.
Description: This app lesson will develop 6th grade students’ order of operation skills
when solving simple or complex expressions.

Instructional Objective: Students will start by watching a video explaining the

terminology of the order of operations and how to solve expressions. Students will then
use their operation skills aiming to win an online game. Students will then have an
assignment on Khan Academy to complete and the teacher can see their score when
finished.

Step 1 Students will watch an instructional video explaining the terminology of the
order of operations and how to solve simple expressions (without exponents and
fractions).

Step 2 Content-Based or Skill-Based App: Students will play an online game using
their order of operations skills to win.

Step 3 Creation-Based (Learning Artifact) or Skill-Based App (Screenshot of

Progress): Students will have an assignment on Khan Academy with expressions
including exponents and fractions.
