So much to talk about so I will dig right in.

First Topic: Math Fluency Online Game (Lew's MATH MASTERY SKILL)
Step 1- you will type the website in your web browser: www.topmarks.co.uk.
Step 2 in the red circled area you will find "learning games", click on that.
Step 3 you will choose a category circled in the green area. The red arrow is pointing to multiplication and division. We will start with that as a class so click that.
Step 4 you will choose the game called Hit the Button so click on that.
Step 5 You can choose Times Tables circled in red for my 3rd, 4th and some 5th graders.
Most 5th graders should choose division.
Step 6 Here we will really define your mastery level. I will be specific with each student as to what I want you to choose. You want to work on the ones that give you the most trouble. For example, if you struggle with 8s. Choose those. You want to bring your 8s up to a level of MASTERY!
Step 7 Play
Step 8 Game Over and more practice
You should get used to playing 3-5 times each class. If it is too easy go to the Menu and find a way to make it a challenge. If it was hard, good, play again.
Great Job! You are now using this internet resource to build a math MASTERY skill!
Second Topic- Taking a Screenshot
Now I am going to teach you how to tell your computer to take a picture of what you are looking at on your computer screen. This is called a "screenshot."
Below you will see a few pictures of a keyboard. You want to find your Print Screen Button. On my laptop my Print Screen Button says PrtSC with some scissors. like you see below.
NOT EVERY COMPUTER IS THE SAME. CHROMEBOOKS HAVE A DIFFERENT KEYBOARD. I WILL SHOW YOU AFTER FURTHER DOWN WHAT KEYS TO USE.
IF YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLE WITH SCREENSHOTS, CONNECT WITH ME SO I CAN GIVE YOU AN ALTERNATIVE SOLUTION.
CHROMEBOOK SCREENSHOT
I MUST GIVE CREDIT TO MR. BROOKS FOR THE PIC. GREAT JOB MY MAN AND THANKS FOR THE HELP. HOLD THE CTRL KEY AND THE KEY AT THE TOP WITH A SQUARE AND TWO LINES TO THE RIGHT OF IT. IF YOU DO THIS AT THE SAME TIME YOU MADE A SCREENSHOT!!!
To take a "screenshot or a computer selfie", hold the Windows button down and keep holding it down while you hit the print screen button. Your screen will flash gray usually showing you that you did in fact take a picture.
Take a picture of your Hit the Button Score
Your computer saved your picture for you. You will be able to find that picture in the Screenshots Folder.
That takes care of that. Great job Photo Master. Let's keep rolling!
Third Topic: Using Paint 3D
So far so great, now let's use your screenshot as evidence of your greatness!
Follow the steps below to see how to use that screenshot and use the Paint 3D features on your computer.
Step 1 Find Paint 3D
Start by clicking the Windows button in the corner. Scroll down in your computer features that are in alphabetical order for you and click on the Paint 3D function.
Step 2 Click New to make a new picture.

Step 4 Click Insert
Step 5 You are going into your computer files on this step. On the left you should see Screenshots is highlighted in light blue. You should be loading up a picture of your screenshot. Now, you are going to Double Click the screen shot you want and it will load on to your Paint 3D canvas. You can also click the screenshot once like show where the red arrow is and click Open down below. The double click will load it automatically though.
Step 6 Using the art tools and colors
Step 7 Go ahead and play around with these. Show me your Hit the Button Score and show me using paint tools and colors what you got by circling the score like I did in the picture.
Step 8 Saving your work. Go back to the Menu Button and click Save as...
Step 9 Choose Image
Step 10 Give it a name and hit Save! Good job.
LAST TOPIC: LOADING A PAINT 3D IMAGE TO AN EMAIL

You took a picture of your score with your computer.
You were able to upload your picture to Paint 3D.
You were able to work with the paint tools, colors and save your work.
You are now ready to show me how you did. This will help me know if you have mastery of a specific skill tailored to help you or if you need to spend more time practicing on that skill.
