Elektroonilised töölehed II klassile integreeritud arvutitundide läbiviimiseks
Töölehed on valminud reaalsest vajadusest muuta lastele arvitunnid huvitavamaks ning efektiivsemaks teiste ainetundide suhtes. Arvutialased teadmised on integreeritud teiste õppeainetega. Töölehed on valminud praktilise töö käigus, mida 2. klassi lapsed lahendasid koolis ainetunni raames arvutiklassis ja ka väljaspool seda. Töölehed on jaotatud õppenädalate kaupa, iga nädala jaoks on koostatud kolme õppeaine töölehed. Igasse õppenädalasse kuulub matemaatika tööleht, mis on p
