2)Students count the cubes used to create their shape. 3)Open the book creator app and take pictures from within the app of their creation. Add text to the pages: name of creation, student name, and number of cubes. 4)Add a voice recording of the students talking about how many cubes they used for their creation. ||
 * **Title**: ||< Linking Cube Creation Book ||
 * **Subject**: ||< Math ||
 * **Grade**: ||< K+ ||
 * **Time Frame**: ||< One-Two Class periods, or several small group sessions ||
 * **Summary:** ||< Students create shapes from linking cubes, then create pages in a class book to show their creations and how many cubes they used in their shapes. ||
 * **Tasks**: ||< 1)Use activity cards to create shapes from linking cubes. (For a challenge have students create their own shapes, or draw shapes for their classmates to solve.)
 * Objectives: ||< * TLW apply one to one correspondence and matching by building connecting cube creations to match either the models or pictures on the creation cards. ||
 * Assessment: ||< Check to see if the students have counted the cubes correctly.
 * For students who are struggling to count the cubes take the shapes apart to count the cubes, then put them back together.
 * Challenge students by giving them a fixed number of cubes and having them create a shape from them. Or have them draw their shape and share with a partner. ||
 * Resources: ||< * Linking Cubes
 * Activity Cards (from Kathy Richardson's Number Concept Book)
 * iPad with Book Creator App
 * computer/laptop with presentation software (PowerPoint, Google Presentation, Keynote)
 * iPod with slide creation app (Pix-n-Tell, Sonic Pics, etc) ||

 * Reflections:** || The lesson went well. The students were able to use the app with guidance, and should be able to use independently in the future. The ability to share the books with the sound is not available, so in the future I would have the students write the sentence "I used cubes to make my shape" and have that sentence in the picture with the shape (in their creative writing!). Then the students can read that sentence for the voice recording piece. That way, when the book is shared, the learning is still visible. ||
