Recently, The Teaching Children Mathematics provided a list of recommended math apps for ipads. Even better, these apps are FREE! They are:
- Zoom version 2.1 – this is a number line game with 24 different levels
- Slice It! version 1.3.0 – lots of area visualization, dividing shapes into a given number of equal parts (fractions)
- Rocket Math free version 1.8 – practice basic math facts, telling time, money, and identifying 3-D shapes.
- Coin Math free – learn about coins, counting in groups of five, ten, and twenty-five, shopping and making change
During our Monday inservice, Kumu DeSa shared with us the Rocket Math application for all of us to try. Kumu Crabbe and I had a great time working on our addition facts. The interesting thing is that as you build your skills, you are able to earn money that can be used later to build your own rocket and eventually launch it into space! Believe me, this is a winner! So much fun!
