Multiplication & Division Facts App

This app is a great multiplication and division facts tool. My students struggle every year with their multiplication and division facts. If they do not know their facts fluently, they will struggle with almost every other math skill. This app would be a great practice tool. Students who have completed their work before everyone else could grab an iPad and use this app to practice their facts!

Math Adventures App

This app is a great review for various math skills. The nice thing about this app is that students can explore a math topic of their choice and move on to various levels depending on their level of mastery. This app would be great to have accessible in a math center.

Equate Game AppWhere are my overachievers? My early-finishers? My higher-level thinkers? This app is perfect for them! This app can be used to deepen conceptual understanding of various math skills. Last year I taught a group of students that were exceptionally smart and loved a challenge. This app would have been perfect for them as it would make them think "outside the box".

GeoPad AppThis app reminds me of SketchPad and I love using Sketchpad. I have even used it in some of my lessons and my students are wowed by some of the things they can create using it. This GeoPad app is very similar and I think my elementary students could navigate this app more easily then they could using SketchPad. this app is definitely a wonderful resource to use in many geometry lessons. I will definitely be downloading this app for my students before this school year begins!

Fractions & Decimals App

Fractions and decimals can be tough skills to teach and for some students to understand. I have noticed through my years of teaching that some of my students love fractions and decimals and do well with them and then there are some students who can't stand fractions and decimals and struggle continuously with them. This app would be a great resource for my struggling students. They could either work by themselves or with a partner using this app. It is a great tool for students to see just how closely related fractions and decimals are.
